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

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

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

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.
