Luke 23:13-25

The Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial of Jesus Christ

1 min read

13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 Said to them, You have brought this man to me, as one that perverts the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof you accuse him:
15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, see, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
17 (For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.)
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 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.
21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, 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: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
25 And he released to them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
