And Pilate, wishing to satisfy the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, after having scourged Him, to be crucified.
Verse Concepts
And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, "Art Thou the King of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him, "You say it." And, while He was being accused by the high priests and elders, He answered nothing. Then says Pilate to Him, "Hearest Thou not how many things they testify against Thee?" read more.
And He did not answer him, not even to one word; so that the governor greatly wondered. And at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired; and they then had a noted prisoner called Barabbas. When, therefore, they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do ye desire that I should release to you? Barabbas or Jesus Who is called Christ?" For he knew that because of envy they delivered Him up. And, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that Righteous One; for I suffered many things today in a dream because of Him." But the high priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes, that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. And the governor, answering, said to them, "Which of the two do ye desire that I should release to you?" And they said, Barabbas." Pilate says to them, "What, then, shall I do to Jesus Who is called Christ?" They all say, "Let Him be crucified." But he said, "Why, what evil did He perform?" And they were crying out the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified!" And Pilate, seeing that it availed nothing, but rather a tumult was being made, taking water, washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this Man. Ye shall see to it." And all the people, answering, said, "His blood be upon us, and upon our children." Then he released to them Barabbas; but, having scourged Jesus, he delivered Him up to be crucified.

In that very hour, there came certain Pharisees, saying to Him, "Go out, and journey hence; because Herod is wishing to kill Thee." And He said to them, "Going your way, tell this fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons, and perfect cures, to-day and to-morrow; and on the third day I am made perfect.
But Pilate, hearing it, asked if the Man were a Galilaean. And, learning that He was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him up to Herod, who also was in Jerusalem in these days. Now Herod, seeing Jesus, rejoiced exceedingly; for he was wishing for a long time to see Him, because he had heard concerning Him; and he was hoping to see some sign wrought by Him. read more.
And he kept questioning Him in many words; but He answered him nothing. And the high priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing Him. And Herod with his soldiers, having set Him at naught, and having mocked Him, having thrown over Him a gorgeous robe, sent Him back to Pilate. And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other on that day; for before they were at enmity between themselves. And Pilate, calling together the high priests and the rulers and the people, said to them, "Ye brought to me This Man as One perverting the people and, behold, I, having examined Him before you, found no fault in This Man regarding those things of which ye accuse Him; no, nor yet Herod; for he sent Him hack to us; and, behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by Him.

Now about that time Herod the king put forth his bands to harm some of the assembly. And he slew James, the brother of John, with the sword; and, seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And then were the days of unleavened bread. read more.
And, having seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending, after the passover, to bring him up to the people. Peter, therefore, was kept in the prison; but prayer was being earnestly made by the assembly to God in his behalf. And, when Herod was about to bring him forth, in that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and guards before the door were keeping the prison. And, behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell; and, smiting the side of Peter, he raised him up, saying, "Rise up quickly!" And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said to him, "Gird yourself, and bind on your sandals." And he did so. And he says to him, "Cast your garment around you, and follow me." And, going forth, he was following him; and he knew not that it was true, which was being done by the angel, but was thinking that he saw a vision. And, having passed the first and second watch; they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and, going out, they passed on through one street, and straightway the angel departed from him. And Peter, having come to himself, said, "Now I know truly that the Lord sent forth His angel, and delivered me out of Herod's hand, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. And, having considered it, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who is surnamed Mark; where many were gathered together and were praying. And, when he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came near to answer, Rhoda by name. And, recognizing the voice of Peter, she opened not the gate for joy; but, running in, she told them that Peter was standing before the gate. And they said to her, "You are mad!" But she kept confidently affirming that it was so. And they said, "It is his angel" But Peter continued knocking; and, opening, they saw him, and were amazed. But, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, he declared to them, how the Lord brought him forth out of the prison. And he Said, "Declare these things to James, and to the brethren." And, going forth, he went to another place. And, when it became day, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to what, consequently, became of Peter. And Herod, having sought for him, and not finding him, having examined the guards, ordered that they be led away to death. And, going down from Judaea to Caesarea, he tarried there.

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus, and said to his servants, "This is John the Immerser; He arose from the dead; and therefore do the powers work in Him." For Herod, having laid hold of John, bound him, and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. read more.
For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her." And, wishing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because they were holding him as a prophet. But, on a birthday celebration of Herod, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask. And she, urged on by her mother, says, "Give me here upon a plate the head of John the Immerser." And the king, though grieved, yet, because of the oaths and of those sitting at the table with them, ordered it to be given; and, having sent, he beheaded John in the prison; and his head was brought upon a plate, and given to the damsel; and she brought it to her mother.
