Bible verse
Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”
Luke 23:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Luke 23.
12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.
13 Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.
15 Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.
16 Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”
17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
18 But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”
19 (Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,
