1 Then the whole company rose up and brought him to Pilate,

5 But they repeatedly insisted, "He is stirring up the people throughout all Judea with his teaching which started from Galilee."
But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Yehuda, beginning from Galila even to this place."
6 When Pilate heard the word "Galilee" he asked if the man were a Galilean,
But when Pilate heard it, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 and when he learned that he belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction he sent him to Herod, who himself happened to be in Jerusalem during those days.
When he found out that he was in Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Urishlim during those days.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus he was exceedingly glad. He had long been wanting to see him, because he had heard so much about him, and was hoping to see some miracles performed by him.

10 Meanwhile the high priests and Scribes were standing around, and continually making accusations to him against him.

11 Then Herod and his soldiers set him at naught, and mocked him, and throwing about him a gorgeous robe, sent him back to Pilate.

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.
and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one that subverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
15 Neither does Herod; for he sent him back to us. You see that he has done nothing worthy of death.
Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
16 I will therefore, after flogging him, release him."
I will therefore chastise him and 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."
He said to them the third time, "Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him."
23 But they kept shouting the more insistently, demanding that he should be crucified, and their shouts won the day.
But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices, and those of the chief priests, prevailed.
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.
He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Yeshua up 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.
When they led him away, they grabbed one Shimon of Qurinaya, coming from the country, and placed on him the cross, to carry it after Yeshua.
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 to 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.’

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,
And Yeshua said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

40 But the other, answering, reproved him, saying. "Have you no fear of God even? When you are suffering the same punishment as he?
But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
41 "We indeed justly, for we are receiving due retribution for what we have done. But he has done no wrong."
And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."
42 Then he added, "Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingdom."
And he said, "Yeshua, remember me when you come into your Kingdom."
43 "In solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus, "that this day you shall be with me in Paradise."
And he said to him, "Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise."
