Luke 23:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ Herod also did not find that he had done anything wrong. That is why he has sent him back to me. You can see this. He has not done anything bad that means he ought to die. ¹⁶ So I will just punish him. I will command a soldier to hit him with whips. Then I will let him go.’

¹⁷ [Pilate usually let one person go free out of the prison at Passover time.]^[a]
