EasyEnglish Bible

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. ²⁸ They removed Jesus' clothes from him. They put a dark red coat on him.
