Barabbas » A prisoner released by pilate
And he sitting upon the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Nothing to thee and that just one: for I have suffered this day many things in a dream, on his account. And the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. And the leader having answered, said to them, Which of the two will ye I shall loose to you? And they said, Barabbas. Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified., And the leader said, For what evil hath he done? and they cried excessively, saying, Let him be crucified. And Pilate, seeing that it profits nothing, but there is rather an uproar, having taken water, he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this just one: ye shall see yourselves. And all the people having answered, said, His blood upon us, and upon our children. Then he loosed to them Barabbas: and having scourged Jesus, delivered him up, that, he might be crucified.
For he knew that through envy the chief priests had delivered him up: And the chief priests moved the crowd, that he would rather loose Barabbas to them. And Pilate having answered, again said to them, What then will ye I should do to him whom ye call King of the Jews? And again they cried out, Crucify him. And Pilate said to them, But what evil has he done? And they cried out more excessively, Crucify him. And Pilate, willing to satisfy the crowd, loosed to them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, having scourged, that he might be crucified.
And they exclaimed, saying, Crucify, crucify him. And he said to them the third time, For what evil has he done I have found no cause of death in him: therefore, having corrected him, I will loose. And they were urgent with great voices, asking for him to be crucified. And their voices and the chief priests' overcame. And Pilate sanctioned their asking to be done. And he loosed to them him cast into prison for sedition, and slaughter, which they demanded; and delivered Jesus to their will.
