Matthew 27:20

Radiate New Testament

But the chief priests and the elders talked the crowd into asking Pilate to set Barabbas free and put Jesus to death.

See the chapter Copy

They shouted back, “No! Not him! Give us Barabbas!” Barabbas was a man who’d taken part in a rebellion against the country’s rulers.

But the chief priests riled up the crowd and got them to ask Pilate to let Barabbas go free instead.

“Which of the two do you want me to set free?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered.

Every Sabbath day he went to the synagogue and tried to persuade both Jews and Greeks to believe.
