Luke 23:16
King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology
CHAPTER 23. |
||
And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. |
||
And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. |
||
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. |
||
Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. |
||
And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. |
||
When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan. |
||
And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time. |
||
¶And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. |
||
Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. |
||
And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. |
||
And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. |
||
¶And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves. |
||
¶And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, |
||
Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: |
||
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. |
||
I will therefore chastise him, and release him. |
||
(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) |
||
And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: |
||
(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) |
||
Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. |
||
But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. |
