Barabbas » A prisoner released by pilate
When he was set down to give judgment, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have thou nothing to do with that just man, I have suffered many things this day in a dream about him." But the chief priests and the elders had persuaded the people, that they should ask Barabbas, and should destroy Jesus. Then the deputy answered and said unto them, "Whether of the twain will ye that I let loose unto you?" And they said, "Barabbas." Pilate said unto them, "What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let him be crucified." Then said the deputy, "What evil hath he done?" And they cried the more saying, "Let him be crucified." When Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but that more business was made, he took water and washed his hands before the people saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person: see ye thereto." Then answered all the people, and said, "His blood be on us, and on our children." Then let he Barabbas loose unto them, and scourged Jesus, and delivered him to be crucified.
For he knew that the high priests had delivered him of envy. But the high priests had moved the people that he should, rather, deliver Barabbas unto them. And Pilate answered again, and said unto them, "What will ye then that I do with him, whom ye call the King of the Jews?" And they cried again, "Crucify him." Pilate said unto them, "What evil hath he done?" And they cried the more fervently, "Crucify him." And so Pilate, willing to content the people, loosed them Barabbas; And delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, for to be crucified.
And they cried, saying, "Crucify him; Crucify him." He said unto them the third time, "What evil hath he done? I find no cause of death in him. I will therefore chasten him, and let him go loose." And they cried with loud voice, and required that he might be crucified. And the voice of them and of the high priests prevailed. And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required, and let loose unto them, him that for insurrection, and murder, was cast into prison, whom they desired: and delivered Jesus to do with him what they would.
