ABU(i)
13 And Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 said to them: Ye brought to me this man, as one perverting the people; and, behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man, touching those things whereof ye accuse him.
15 No, nor yet Herod; for I sent you up to him; and behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
16 I will therefore chastise, and release him.
17 [V. 17 is omitted in all the oldest and best copies.]
18 And they cried out all at once, saying: Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas!
19 (who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
20 Again, therefore, Pilate spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus.
21 But they cried, saying: Crucify, crucify him.
