Luke 23:13-25 GNB ...Pilate called together the chief priests, the leaders, and the people, (14) and said to them, "You brought this man to me and said that he was misleading the people. Now, I have examined him here in your presence, and I have not found him guilty of any of the crimes you accuse him of. (15) Nor did Herod find him guilty, for he sent him back to us. There is nothing this man has done to deserve death. (16) So I will have him whipped and let him go." (17) OMITTED TEXT (18) The whole crowd cried out, "Kill him! Set Barabbas free for us!" (19) (Barabbas had been put in prison for a riot that had taken place in the city, and for murder.) (20) Pilate wanted to set Jesus free, so he appealed to the crowd again. (21) But they shouted back, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" (22) Pilate said to them the third time, "But what crime has he committed? I cannot find anything he has done to deserve death! I will have him whipped and set him free." (23) But they kept on shouting at the top of their voices that Jesus should be crucified, and finally their shouting succeeded. (24) So Pilate passed the sentence on Jesus that they were asking for. (25) He set free the man they wanted, the one who had been put in prison for riot and murder, and he handed Jesus over for them to do as they wished.
Luke 23:13-25 ESV ...Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, (14) and said to them, "You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. And after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him. (15) Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, nothing deserving death has been done by him. (16) I will therefore punish and release him." (17) [Now he was obliged to release one man to them at the festival.] (18) But they all cried out together, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas"-- (19) a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city and for murder. (20) Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus, (21) but they kept shouting, "Crucify, crucify him!" (22) A third time he said to them, "Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no guilt deserving death. I will therefore punish and release him." (23) But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed. (24) So Pilate decided that their demand should be granted. (25) He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus over to their will.
Luke 23:13-25 GW ...Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people. (14) He told them, "You brought me this man as someone who turns the people against the government. I've questioned him in front of you and haven't found this man guilty of the crimes of which you accuse him. (15) Neither could Herod. So he sent this man back to us. This man hasn't done anything to deserve the death penalty. (16) So I'm going to have him whipped and set free." (17) (OMITTED TEXT) (18) The whole crowd then shouted, "Take him away! Free Barabbas for us." (19) (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for his involvement in a riot that had taken place in the city and for murder.) (20) But because Pilate wanted to free Jesus, he spoke to the people again. (21) They began yelling, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" (22) A third time Pilate spoke to them. He asked, "Why? What has he done wrong? I haven't found this man deserving of the death penalty. So I'm going to have him whipped and set free." (23) But the crowd pressured Pilate. They shouted that Jesus had to be crucified, and they finally won. (24) Pilate decided to give in to their demand. (25) He freed Barabbas, who had been put in prison for rioting and murdering, because that's what they wanted. But he let them do what they wanted to Jesus.
Luke 23:13-25 MKJV ...And when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, (14) Pilate said to them, You have brought this Man to me as perverting the people. And behold, having examined Him before you, I have found no fault in this Man regarding those things of which you accuse Him; (15) no, nor even Herod, for I sent you to him, and lo, nothing worthy of death has been done by Him. (16) Therefore I will chastise Him and release Him. (17) (For it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast.) (18) And they all cried out at once, saying, Away with this One! And release to us Barabbas (19) (who was thrown into prison because of a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder). (20) And Pilate, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them. (21) But they cried, saying, Crucify! Crucify Him! (22) And he said to them the third time, Why? What evil has He done? I have found no cause of death in Him, therefore I will chastise Him and let Him go. (23) But they pressed on him, with loud voices, requesting that He might be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed. (24) And Pilate gave judgment that their request should be granted. (25) And he released to them the one who had been thrown into prison for sedition and murder, for whom they had asked. But he delivered up Jesus to their will.
