MNT(i)
13 So Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 and said to them. "You brought before me this man as one who incited the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence, and I find no fault in this man regarding the charges that you brought against him.
15 Neither does Herod; for he sent him back to us. You see that he has done nothing worthy of death.
16 I will therefore, after flogging him, release him."
17 "Now he had to release to them at the feast one prisoner."
18 Then the whole crowd shouted out, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas."
19 (This was a man who had been thrown in prison on account of a riot which had occurred in the city, and for murder.)
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, because he wished to release Jesus;
21 but they continued to shout out and say, "Crucify! Crucify him!"
22 For the third time he appealed to them. "But what crime has he committed? I have found in him nothing that deserves death. I will therefore flog him, and let him go."
23 But they kept shouting the more insistently, demanding that he should be crucified, and their shouts won the day.
24 So Pilate gave sentence what they wished should be done.
25 He released the man who had been put in prison for riot and murder, the man whom they asked for; but Jesus he handed over to their will.
26 And when they led him away they took hold of Simon, a Cyrenean, who was coming in from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it behind Jesus.
27 He was also followed by a great crowd of people, and of women too, who were beating their breast and lamenting him.
28 But Jesus turned and said: "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me;
29 "but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming when they shall say, 'Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have never bore children, and the breasts that never suckled.'
30 "Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us!' and to the hills, 'Cover us!'
31 "For if this is what they do in the green tree, what will they do in the dry?"
32 And there were led out with him to be executed, two criminals also.
33 When they came to the place called "The Skull," there they crucified him and the criminals also, one upon his right hand, and one upon his left.
34 Jesus kept saying, "Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided his garments among them, casting lots for them,
35 and the people stood looking on. Even the rulers repeatedly taunted him, saying, "He saved others, let him save himself, if this fellow is indeed the Christ of God, His Chosen One!"
36 Even the soldiers made sport of him by coming up and offering him sour wine,
37 saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself."
38 For there was an inscription over his head, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
