23.22Corripiam, etc. Hanc correptionem deridendo et flagellando nefandorum desideriis exhibuit, ne usque ad crucifigendum sævirent. Quod et verba Joannis evangelistæ, et ipsa columna testatur ad quam ligatus fuit Dominus, quæ usque hodie Dominici sanguinis cernentibus certa signa demonstrat. Sed licet Pilatus hoc agat, insatiabilis tamen sacrilegorum furor non cessat, sed magis instat quia accusationem, quam contra Dominum detulerant, sollicita Pilati interrogatione viderant evacuatam. Tandem impudici ad solas preces se convertunt, ut quod criminando vel quasi ratiocinando nequiverant, jam postulando et vociferando et perficiendo perficiunt.
23.22Corripiam, etc. Hanc correptionem deridendo and flagellando nefandorum desideriis exhibuit, not until to crucifigendum sævirent. That and words Yoannis evangelistæ, and herself columna testatur to how ligatus fuit Master, which until hodie Dominici blood cernentibus certa signa demonstrat.

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here. Alternate translation: “Pilate spoke to the crowd again, for time number three”
Pilate does not expect the crowd to tell him what Jesus has done wrong. Rather, he is using the question form to emphasize to the crowd that Jesus is innocent. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “There is no reason to execute this man, because he did not do anything wrong!”
οὐδὲν αἴτιον θανάτου εὗρον ἐν αὐτῷ
not_one cause ˱of˲_death ˱I˲_found in him
Alternate translation: “I have not found any grounds to convict him of a crime for which he should be executed”
/having/_disciplined therefore him ˱I˲_/will_be/_sending_away_‹him›
See the note to this same sentence in 23:16. Pilate should have released Jesus without punishment, because he was innocent. It seems that Pilate decided to punish Jesus anyway to try to satisfy the Jewish leaders. However, since Luke does not provide this explanation in his book, you probably should not add it to your translation. But you could make explicit that Pilate is saying he is not going to execute Jesus. Alternate translation: “So I will not execute him, but whip him, and then let him go”
/having/_disciplined & him ˱I˲_/will_be/_sending_away_‹him›
Pilate is not going to administer this punishment personally. Rather, he will have his soldiers do it. Alternate translation: “I will have my soldiers whip him, and then I will release him”
On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
