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.
