And they began to accuse him, ‘This is a man whom we found misleading our people, preventing them from paying taxes to the Emperor, and giving out that he himself is “Christ, a king.”’

‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ Pilate asked him. ‘It is true,’ replied Jesus.
But Pilate, turning to the chief priests and the people, said, ‘I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.’

Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;

When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, having heard a great deal about him; and he was hoping to see some sign given by him.
So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.
Meanwhile the chief priests and the teachers of the Law stood by and vehemently accused him.

And Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, for before that there had been ill-will between them.
So Pilate summoned the chief priests, and the leading men, and the people,

and said to them, ‘You brought this man before me charged with misleading the people; and yet, for my part, though I examined him before you, I did not find this man to blame for any of the things of which you accuse him;
nor did Herod either; for he has sent him back to us. And, as a fact, he has not done anything deserving death;
so I will have him scourged, and then release him.’
But they began to shout as one man, ‘Kill this fellow, but release Barabbas for us.’
(Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had broken out in the city and for murder.)
Pilate, however, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again;
but they kept calling out, ‘Crucify, crucify him!’

‘Why, what harm has this man done?’ Pilate said to them for the third time. ‘I have found nothing in him for which he could be condemned to death. So I will have him scourged, and then release him.’
But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamour gained the day.
Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.

And, as they were leading Jesus away, they laid hold of Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on his shoulders, for him to carry it behind Jesus.
There was a great crowd of people following him, many being women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.

A time, I tell you, is coming, when it will be said – “Happy are the women who are barren, and those who have never borne children or nursed them!”
At that time people will begin to say to the mountains “Fall on us,” and to the hills “Cover us.”
If what you see is done while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?’
There were two others also, criminals, led out to be executed with Jesus.

Meanwhile the people stood looking on. Even the leading men said with a sneer, ‘He saved others, let him save himself, if he is God’s Christ, his chosen one.’

And Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, this very day you will be with me in Paradise.’
