¹⁵ And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,

⁵ and they said, `Not in the feast, that there may not be a tumult among the people.'

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.

¹⁶ having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'

³⁸ Pilate saith to him, `What is truth?' and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, `I do find no fault in him;

³⁹ and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, `that' I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'

⁴⁰ therefore they all cried out again, saying, `Not this one -- but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber.

¹⁶ Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led `him' away,

²⁷ and two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; Felix also willing to lay a favour on the Jews, left Paul bound.

⁹ And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favour, answering Paul, said, `Art thou willing, to Jerusalem having gone up, there concerning these things to be judged before me?'
