I will therefore chasten him, and let him loose." For of necessity, he must have let one loose unto them at that feast. And all the people cried at once, saying, "Away with him, and deliver to us Barabbas: which for insurrection made in the city, and murder, was cast into prison." Pilate spake again to them, willing to let Jesus loose. 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.

At that feast, the deputy was wont to deliver unto the people a prisoner whom they would desire. He had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.

For he knew well, that for envy they had delivered him. 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.

At that feast Pilate was wont to deliver at their pleasure a prisoner: whomsoever they would desire. And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them, that made insurrection: and in the insurrection, committed murder.

Pilate answered them, and said, "Will ye that I loose unto you the King of the Jews?" 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.

Ye have a custom among you, that I should deliver you one loose at Easter. Will ye that I loose unto you the King of the Jews?" Then cried they all again saying, "Not him, but Barabbas." That Barabbas was a robber.

Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him. And the soldiers wound a crown of thorns and put it on his head. And they did on him a purple garment, and said, "Hail King of the Jews." And they smote him on the face. read more.
Pilate went forth again, and said unto them, "Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him." Then came Jesus forth wearing a crown of thorns and a robe of purple. And Pilate said unto them, "Behold the man." When the high priests and ministers saw him, they cried, saying, "Crucify him, crucify him." Pilate said unto them, Take ye him and crucify him: For I find no cause in him. The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he ought to die: because he made himself the son of God." When Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid, and went again into the judgment hall, and said unto Jesus, "Whence art thou?" But Jesus gave him none answer. Then said Pilate unto him, "Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to loose thee?" Jesus answered, "Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given unto thee from above. Therefore he that delivered me unto thee, is more in sin." And from thenceforth sought Pilate means to loose him: but the Jews cried, saying, "If thou let him go, thou art not Caesar's friend. For whosoever maketh himself a King, is against Caesar." When Pilate heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down to give sentence, in a place called the pavement: But in the Hebrew tongue, Gabbatha. It was the Sabbath even which falleth in the Easter feast, and about the sixth hour. And he said unto the Jews, "Behold your King." They cried, "Away with him, away with him; Crucify him." Pilate said unto them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The high priests answered, "We have no King but Caesar." Then delivered he him unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
