5
But Jesus yet answered nothing: so that Pilate marveled.
6
Now at [that] feast he released to them one prisoner, whom they desired.
7
And there was [one] named Barabbas, [who lay] bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8
And the multitude crying aloud, began to desire [him to do] as he had ever done to them.
9
But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?
10
(For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.)
11
But the chief priests moved the people that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
12
And Pilate answered, and said again to them, What will ye then that I shall do [to him] whom ye call the King of the Jews?
13
And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14
Then Pilate said to them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15
And [so] Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.
