16. having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'
17. for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,
18. and they cried out--the whole multitude--saying, `Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,'
19. who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.
20. Pilate again then--wishing to release Jesus--called to them,
21. but they were calling out, saying, `Crucify, crucify him.'
22. And he a third time said unto them, `Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release [him].'
23. And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,
24. and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,
25. and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up to their will.
26. And as they led him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the cross, to bear [it] behind Jesus.
27. And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,
28. and Jesus having turned unto them, said, `Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children;
29. for, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck;
30. then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; --
31. for, if in the green tree they do these things--in the dry what may happen?'
32. And there were also others--two evil-doers--with him, to be put to death;
33. and when they came to the place that is called Skull, there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right hand and one on the left.
34. And Jesus said, `Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.
