Barabbas

and they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas,

they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, `Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?'

And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus;

and the governor answering said to them, `Which of the two will ye that I shall release to you?' And they said, `Barabbas.'

Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him up that he may be crucified;

and there was one named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.

and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus--having scourged him --that he might be crucified.

and they cried out--the whole multitude--saying, `Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,'

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