Mark 15:6–15
6 Now at each feast he customarily releasedb for them one prisoner whom they requested. 7 And the one named Barabbasc was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder in the rebellion. 8 And the crowd came up and* began to ask him to do as he customarily didd for them. 9 So Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?” 10 (For he realized that the chief priests had handed him over because of envy.) 11 But the chief priests incited the crowd so that he would release for them Barabbas* instead. 12 So Pilate answered and said to them again, “Then what do you want me to do with the one whom you call the king of the Jews?” 13 And they shouted again, “Crucify him!” 14 And Pilate said to them, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they shouted even louder, “Crucify him!”
15 So Pilate, because he* wanted ⌊to satisfy⌋e the crowd, released for them Barabbas. And after* he had Jesus flogged, he handed him* over so that he could be crucified.
