⁶ And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;

⁷ and there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.

⁸ And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,

⁹ and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye [that] I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'

¹⁰ for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;

¹¹ and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

¹² And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye [that] I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?'

¹³ and they again cried out, `Crucify him.'

¹⁴ And Pilate said to them, `Why -- what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;'

¹⁵ and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged [him] -- that he might be crucified.
