Mark 15:7

New Living Translation

One of the prisoners at that time was Barabbas, a revolutionary who had committed murder in an uprising.

See the chapter Copy

This year there was a notorious prisoner, a man named Barabbas.

Now it was the governor’s custom each year during the Passover celebration to release one prisoner—anyone the people requested.

The crowd went to Pilate and asked him to release a prisoner as usual.

As they had requested, he released Barabbas, the man in prison for insurrection and murder. But he turned Jesus over to them to do as they wished.
