And his master's heart was moved with pity, and he let the slave go free with his debt cancelled.

Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to set any prisoner free whom the people wanted.

So when they met for this purpose, Pilate asked them, "Which one do you want me to set free, Barabbas, or Jesus, the so-called Christ?"

Still the governor answered, "Which of the two do you want me to set free for you?" And they said, "Barabbas."

Then he set Barabbas free for them, but had Jesus flogged and turned over to be crucified.

just as the Son of Man has come, not to be served but to serve, and to give His life a ransom price to set many free."
