Barabbas » A prisoner released by pilate
Then, as he was sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent a message to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous person; for I have suffered much to-day in a dream on his account. But the chief priests and elders persuaded the populace that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. The governor repeating the question, said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? They said Barabbas. Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah? They all say to him, Let him be crucified. The governor replied, But what evil hath he done? They cried out with greater vehemence, saying, Let him be crucified. When Pilate saw that it was of no use to contend, but that rather a tumult was rising, he took water, and washed his hands before the people, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man: ye must answer for it. Then all the people answering said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Then he released unto them Barabbas: but having scourged Jesus, he delivered him up to be crucified.
(For he knew that out of envy the chief priests had delivered him up.) Then the chief priests stirred up the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. Then Pilate addressing them, said unto them again, What therefore do you wish that I should do with him whom ye call the king of the Jews? And they cried out again, Crucify him. Then Pilate said unto them, But what criminal act hath he done? And they cried the more vociferously, Crucify him. So Pilate, willing to do what would be satisfactory to the people, released to them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus to be scourged, in order to be crucified.
But they clamoured the more, saying, Crucify, crucify him. Then the third time he said to them, What evil hath this man done? I have found nothing deserving death in him: I will therefore, after scourging, discharge him. But they were instant with the most clamorous vociferations, soliciting that he might be crucified. And their clamours, and those of the chief priests, bore him down. Then Pilate decreed that their petition should be granted. Then released he to them him who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison; but he gave up Jesus to their will.
