Mark 15:9

New American Standard Bible 2020

Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”

See the chapter Copy

For he was aware that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.

And the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to do as he had been accustomed to do for them.

However, you have a custom that I release one prisoner for you at the Passover; therefore do you wish that I release for you the King of the Jews?”
