Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this One, but Barabba!” And Barabba was a robber.
In that hour יהושע said to the crowds, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to arrest Me? Daily I sat with you, teaching in the Set-apart Place, and you did not seize Me.
And they had then a well-known prisoner called Barabba.
Then he released Barabba to them, but having יהושע whipped, he delivered Him over to be impaled.
And Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabba to them, and having whipped Him, he delivered יהושע over to be impaled.
And there was one called Barabba, chained with his fellow rebels, who had committed murder in the uprising.
And he released the one they asked for, who for uprising and murder had been thrown into prison, but he handed יהושע over to their wishes.
