Matthew 27:15

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.

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

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

I will therefore punish him, and release him.

Pilate then asked: What is truth? After saying this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them: I find no fault in 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?
