Pilate Releases Barabbas

13So Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people 14and* said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people, and behold, when I* examined him* before you, I found nothing in this man as basis for the accusation which you are makingc against him. 15But neither did Herod, because he sent him back to us. And behold, nothing deserving death has been doned by him. 16Therefore I will punish him and* release him.”* e 18But they all cried out in unison, saying, “Take this man away, and release for us Barabbas!” 19(who had been thrown in prison because of a certain insurrection that had taken place in the city, and for murder). 20And Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them*f again, 21but they kept crying out, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!” 22So he said to them a third time, “Why? What wrong has this man done? I found no basis for an accusation deserving deathg in him. Therefore I will punish him and* release him.”* 23But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he be crucified. And their cries prevailed. 24And Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
