Barabbas

And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

But the governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.

Then released he unto them Barabbas; but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified.

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

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

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

But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:—

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