10 The hye priestes and scribes, stode forth and accused him straightlye.
11 And Herode with his men of warre despysed him and mocked him, and arayed him in white, and sent him again to Pilate.
12 And the same daye Pylate and Herode were made frendes together. For before they were at variaunce.
13 And Pilate called together the hye priestes and the rulers, and the people,
14 and sayed vnto them. Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerted the people. And beholde I haue examined him before you, & haue founde no faute in this man of those thinges wherof ye accuse him:

16 I wil therfore chasten him and let him louse.
17 For of necessyte he muste haue let one louse vnto them at that feaste.
18 And all the people cryed at once saiynge: awaye with him and delyuer to vs Barrabas
