For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles,

I then, the prisoner in the Lord, make this request from my heart, that you will see that your behaviour is a credit to the position which God's purpose has given you,

So that it became clear through all the Praetorium, and to all the rest, that I was a prisoner on account of Christ;

Aristarchus, my brother-prisoner, sends his love to you, and Mark, a relation of Barnabas (about whom you have been given orders: if he comes to you, be kind to him),

I, Paul, give you this word of love in my handwriting. Keep in memory that I am a prisoner. Grace be with you.

Have no feeling of shame, then, for the witness of our Lord or for me, his prisoner: but undergo all things for the good news in the measure of the power of God;

Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear helper in the faith,

Still, because of love, in place of an order, I make a request to you, I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner of Christ Jesus:

Epaphras, my brother-prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you his love;

Now at the feast every year he let one prisoner go free at their request.

And they made him a prisoner and took him away to the house of the high priest. But Peter went after them at a distance.

But every year you make a request to me to let a prisoner go free at the Passover. Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

And now, as you see, I am going to Jerusalem, a prisoner in spirit, having no knowledge of what will come to me there:

Then Paul said, What are you doing, weeping and wounding my heart? for I am ready, not only to be a prisoner, but to be put to death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

So he took him to the chief captain and said, Paul, the prisoner, made a request to me to take this young man to you, for he has something to say to you.

For it seems to me against reason to send a prisoner without making clear what there is against him.

Then after three days he sent for the chief men of the Jews: and when they had come together, he said to them, My brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the ways of our fathers, I was given, a prisoner from Jerusalem, into the hands of the Romans.

And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.

Now at the feast it was the way for the ruler to let free to the people one prisoner, at their selection.

And they had then an important prisoner, whose name was Barabbas.
