Matthew 27:25-27

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁵ All the people answered Pilate, ‘Yes, God should punish us and our children, if we have done the wrong thing.’

²⁶ Then Pilate let Barabbas go free, as the crowd wanted. But he said to his soldiers, ‘Hit Jesus many times with a whip. Then take him and fix him to a cross to die.’

²⁷ Then Pilate's soldiers took Jesus into the yard of the ruler's house. All the other soldiers in their group were there.
