Pilate said, “I have Barabbas and Jesus. Which do you want me to make free for you?”
My friends have left me.\par They all avoid me like a person\par no one wants to touch.\par I am locked in the house\par and I can’t go out.\par
All the people gathered at Pilate’s house. Pilate asked the people, “I will free one man for you. Which man do you want me to free: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Christ {\cf2\super [427]} ?”
But the leading priests and older Jewish leaders told the people to ask for Barabbas to be made free and for Jesus to be killed.
Pilate asked, “So what should I do with Jesus, the one called the Christ {\cf2\super [428]} ?”
When the farmers saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the owner’s son. This vineyard will be his. If we kill him, then it will be ours!’
Pilate called all the people together with the leading priests and the \{Jewish\} leaders.
