⁶ Now at the Feast, he was [in the habit of] releasing for them one prisoner whom they were requesting. ⁷ And the one being called Barabbas had been bound with the rebels^[a] who had committed murder in the rebellion^[b]. ⁸ And having come up, the crowd began to ask him to do as he was [in the habit of] doing for them. ⁹ And Pilate responded to them, saying “Do you want me to release the King of the Jews for you?” ¹⁰ For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy^[c]. ¹¹ But the chief priests stirred-up the crowd in order that he might release Barabbas for them instead. ¹² And Pilate, again having responded, was saying to them “Then what do you want me to do as to the One whom you call the King of the Jews?” ¹³ And the ones cried-out again^[d], “Crucify Him!” ¹⁴ But Pilate was saying to them, “What indeed^[e] did He do wrong?” But the ones cried out even more, “Crucify Him!” ¹⁵ And Pilate, wanting to do enough^[f] for the crowd, released Barabbas for them, and handed-over Jesus, having flogged^[g] Him, in order that He might be crucified.
