Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

And there was he called Barabbas, bound with those exciting sedition, who did murder in the revolt.

(Who was for a certain sedition having been in the city, and slaughter, cast into prison.)

This was of the Lord, and is wonderful in our eyes?

And the chief priests moved the crowd, that he would rather loose Barabbas to them.

And his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We wish not this to reign over us.

(Who was for a certain sedition having been in the city, and slaughter, cast into prison.)

And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to the judgment of death, and crucified him.

Truly of sin, because they believe not in me;

Then cried they all again, saying, Not this, but Barabbas: and Barabbas was a robber.

And having found no cause of death, they desired Pilate to have him slain.
