Barabbas » A prisoner released by pilate
And as he sat on the tribunal his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that just man, for I have suffered much to-day on his account, from a dream. But the chief priests and elders persuaded the people to ask for Barabbas, and to destroy Jesus. And the procurator answered and said to them, Which of the two do you wish me to release to you? And they said, Barabbas. Pilate said to them, What then shall I do to Jesus, called Christ? They all said, Let him be crucified. But he said, [No]; for what evil has he done? And they cried more vehemently, saying, Let him be crucified. And Pilate seeing that he accomplished nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this man; see you to it. And all the people answered and said, His blood be upon us and upon our children. Then he released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus delivered him up to be crucified.
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up from envy. But the chief priests moved the people that he should rather release Barabbas to them.

And Pilate said to them, [Why]? for what evil has he done? But they cried more violently, Crucify him! And Pilate wishing to satisfy the multitude released to them Barabbas; and having scourged Jesus delivered him up to be crucified.
but they replied, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. And he said to them a third time, [Why], for what evil has this man done? I have found no cause of death in him; having chastised him therefore, I will release him. And they beset him with loud cries, demanding that he should be crucified; and their cries, and those of the chief priests, prevailed; and Pilate answered, that their demand should be granted. And he released him that was cast into prison for sedition and murder, whom they desired, and delivered up Jesus to their will.
