And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked [him], and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined [him] before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
I will therefore chastise him, and release [him].
(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this [man], and release unto us Barabbas:
(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
