And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Now at that feast the governor was wont to release to the people a prisoner, whom they would.
Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
And he released to them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted to you;
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
