Matthew 27:23-35 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

23. And the governor said, `Why, what evil did he?' and they were crying out the more, saying, `Let be crucified.'

24. And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, `I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye--ye shall see;'

25. and all the people answering said, `His blood [is] upon us, and upon our children!'

26. Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] up that he may be crucified;

27. then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band;

28. and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak,

29. and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put [it] on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, `Hail, the king of the Jews.'

30. And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head;

31. and when they had mocked him, they took off from him the cloak, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify [him].

32. And coming forth, they found a man, a Cyrenian, by name Simon: him they impressed that he might bear his cross;

33. and having come to a place called Golgotha, that is called Place of a Skull,

34. they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having tasted, he would not drink.

35. And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, `They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;'
