3 - And the chief priests accused him of many things; but he answered nothing.
4 - And Pilate questioned him again, saying, Do you not answer? See how many things testify against you.
5 - But Jesus answered no more, so that Pilate marveled.
6 - On the day of the feast he used to release to them any prisoners they asked for.
7 - And there was a certain man named Barabbas, who, in prison with other mutineers, had died in a riot.
8 - And the multitude, crying, began to ask him to do as he had always done to them.
9 - And Pilate answered and said unto them, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
10 - For he well knew that out of envy the chief priests had delivered him.
11 - But the chief priests incited the multitude to let him go before Barabbas.
12 - And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What then will ye that doeth him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
13 - And they cried again, Crucify him.
14 - But Pilate said to them, "What evil have you done? And they cried more and more: Crucify him.
15 - Then Pilate, wanting to satisfy the multitude, released Barabbas, and beaten Jesus, and delivered him up to be crucified.
