*
And there was one named Barabbas ,
who was chained with his fellow rebels ;
they had committed murder in the rebellion .
*
Then the multitude ,
crying aloud ,
began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them .
*
But Pilate answered them ,
saying , "
Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews ?"
*
For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy .
*
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd ,
so that he should rather release Barabbas to them .
*
Pilate answered and said to them again , "
What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews ?"
*
So they cried out again , "
Crucify Him !"
*
Then Pilate said to them , "
Why ,
what evil has He done ?"
But they cried out all the more , "
Crucify Him !"
*
So Pilate ,
wanting to gratify the crowd ,
released Barabbas to them ;
and he delivered Jesus ,
after he had scourged Him ,
to be crucified .
