^13 (B)Then Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

³⁸ Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, ^(A)“I find no fault in Him at all.

¹⁴ Then Pilate said to them, “Why, ^(A)what evil has He done?”

But they cried out all the more, “Crucify Him!”

²¹ The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?”

They said, ^(A)“Barabbas!”

²² Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”

They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”

²³ Then the governor said, ^(B)“Why, what evil has He done?”

But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”

⁴ Pilate then went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, ^(A)that you may know that I find no fault in Him.”
