Barabbas in the Bible

And at that time they had a notorious prisoner named Jesus Barabbas.

So [after] they had assembled, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you--Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?"

Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ? for he knew that out of envy they had delivered Him up.

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas and put Jesus to death.

So the governor answered [and] said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas!"

They say, Barabbas. Pilate saith to them, What shall I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.

Then he released Barabbas for them, but [after] he had Jesus flogged, he handed [him] over so that he could be crucified.

And there was one named Barabbas, in prison with those who had gone against the government and in the fight had taken life.

But the people were moved by the chief priests to make him let Barabbas go free.

And Pilate, desiring to do what was pleasing to the people, let Barabbas go free, and gave up Jesus, when he had been whipped, to be put to death on the cross.

But they all cried out together, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas"

But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: --

Barabbas had been imprison'd for murder in a riot he had rais'd in the city.

and released the man they had asked for [i.e., Barabbas], who had been thrown into prison for [inciting] a rebellion and committing murder. But he turned Jesus over to the people do with Him whatever they wanted.

therefore they all cried out again, saying, 'Not this one -- but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber.
