Now at the feast, Pilate [a]did deliver a prisoner unto them, whomsoever they would desire.

Then there was one named Barabbas, which was bound with his fellows, that had made insurrection, who in the insurrection had committed murder.

And the people cried aloud, and began to desire that he would do as he had ever done unto them.

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

10 For he knew that the high Priests had delivered him of envy.

11 But the high Priests had moved the people to desire that he would rather deliver Barabbas unto them.

12 And Pilate answered, and said again unto them, What will ye then that I do with him, whom ye call the King of the Jews?

13 And they cried again, Crucify him.

14 Then Pilate said unto them, But what evil hath he done? And they cried the more fervently, Crucify him.

15 So Pilate willing to content the people, loosed them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified.
