23:3 So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

23:4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

23:5 But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

23:6 When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

23:7 And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

23:8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.

23:9 Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

23:10 Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

23:11 And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

23:12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

23:13 Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

23:14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.

23:15 Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

23:16 Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

23:17 This verse number has no text in the BSB edition.

23:18 But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

23:19 (Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

23:20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

23:21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

23:22 A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”

23:23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

23:24 So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

23:25 As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.
