Barabbas » A prisoner released by pilate
And, as he was sitting upon the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man, for, many things, have I suffered this day, by dream, because of him. But, the High-priests and the elders, persuaded the multitudes, that they should claim Barabbas, but, Jesus, should, destroy. Now the governor, answering, said unto them - Which of the two desire ye I should release unto you? And they said - Barabbas! Pilate saith unto them - What then shall I do unto Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say - Let him be crucified! But, he, said - Indeed! what evil hath he done? But, they, vehemently, were crying aloud, saying - Let him be crucified! And Pilate, seeing, that, nothing, it availed, but rather, a tumult, was arising, taking water, washed his hands of it before the multitude, saying - Innocent, am I, of the blood of this man, - Ye, shall see to it for yourselves. And all the people, answering, said - His blood be upon us and upon our children! Then released he unto them Barabbas, but, scourging, Jesus, delivered him up, that he might be crucified.
For he was getting to know that, for envy, had the High-priestsdelivered him up. But, the High-priests, stirred up the multitude, that, rather Barabbas, he should release unto them. But, Pilate, again answering, was saying unto them - What then shall I do with him whom ye call, the King of the Jews? And, they, again, cried out - Crucify him! But, Pilate, was saying unto them - Why! what, evil, hath he done? And, they, vehemently, cried out - Crucify him! And Pilate, being minded to do what would satisfy, the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, having scourged him, that he should be crucified.
But, they, called out in return, saying - Crucify! crucify him! But, he, the third time, said unto them - Why! what base thing hath this man done? Nothing worthy of death, found I in him. Chastising him, then, I will release him! But they became urgent with loud voices, claiming to have him crucified; and their voices began to prevail. And, Pilate, consented, that their request should be granted; and released him who, for revolt and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they claimed, - whereas, Jesus, delivered he up unto their will.
