Mark 15:6

He used to release one prisoner at the feast. This was done by request.

You have a custom that I release someone to you at the Passover. Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?

As you know, the Passover will be here in two days. At that time the Son of man will be captured and impaled.

They insisted: Not during the feast; it could start a riot among the people.

It was a custom for the governor to set one prisoner free at the time of the feast. The people were to help choose that prisoner.

I will therefore punish him, and release him.

Then he delivered him to them to be impaled.

After two years Porcius Festus succeeded Felix. Felix was willing to show the Jews a favor. He left Paul in prison.

Festus was willing to do the Jews a favor, so he answered Paul: Will you go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
