Luke 23:13-16
Christian Standard Bible
Jesus or Barabbas
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the leaders, and the people,(A) 14 and said to them, “You have brought me this man as one who misleads the people.(B) But in fact, after examining him in your presence, I have found no grounds(C) to charge this man with those things you accuse him of. 15 Neither has Herod, because he sent him back to us. Clearly, he has done nothing to deserve death. 16 Therefore, I will have him whipped[a](D) and then release him.”[b]

Pilate Releases Barabbas
13 So Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people 14 and[a] said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people, and behold, when I[b] examined him[c] before you, I found nothing in this man as basis for the accusation which you are making[d] against him. 15 But neither did Herod, because he sent him back to us. And behold, nothing deserving death has been done[e] by him. 16 Therefore I will punish him and[f] release him.”[g] [h]
