and he then had a noted prisoner called Barabbas.

When, therefore, they were assembled together, Pilate said to them, Which do you wish me to release to you? Barabbas? or Jesus, called Christ?

But the chief priests and elders persuaded the people to ask for Barabbas, and to destroy Jesus.

And the procurator answered and said to them, Which of the two do you wish me to release to you? And they said, Barabbas.

Then he released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus delivered him up to be crucified.

And there was a man called Barabbas, bound with the insurgents, who had committed murder in a sedition.

But the chief priests moved the people that he should rather release Barabbas to them.

And Pilate wishing to satisfy the multitude released to them Barabbas; and having scourged Jesus delivered him up to be crucified.

And the whole multitude cried out, saying, Take away this man, and release to us Barabbas;

Then all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. But Barabbas was a robber.
