(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἀπέλυσεν αὐτοῖς τόν Βαραββᾶν τόν δέ Ἰησοῦν φραγελλώσας παρέδωκεν ἵνα σταυρωθῇ)

Flogging was a Roman penalty in which soldiers whipped a person with a whip to which were attached pieces of bone and metal to increase the whip’s capacity to do harm to the person being flogged. If your readers would not be familiar with this form of punishment, you could explain explicitly what flogging was. Alternate translation: [having whipped Jesus with a whip to which were attached pieces of bone and metal]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

˱he˲_˓may_be˒_crucified

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who would do the action, it is clear from the context that it would be Pilate’s soldiers. Alternate translation: [the soldiers might crucify him]
