John 18:38-40
English Standard Version
38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”
After he had said this, (A)he went back outside to the Jews and told them, (B)“I find no guilt in him. 39 (C)But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 40 They cried out again, (D)“Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.[a]

38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.(A) 39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”
