¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.

⁵ But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among people.

⁶ Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

⁷ And there was one called Barabbas, `lying' bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

⁸ And the multitude went up and began to ask him `to do' as he was wont to do unto them.

⁹ And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

¹⁰ For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

¹¹ But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

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

¹³ And they cried out again, Crucify him.

¹⁴ And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him.

¹⁵ And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

³⁸ Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find no crime in him.

³⁹ But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

⁴⁰ They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.)

¹⁶ Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified.

²⁷ But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.

⁹ But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
