Mark 15:7

The Text-Critical English New Testament

And there was a man named Barabbas who was in prison with his fellow insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection.

See the chapter Copy

At that time they had a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

Now at the feast Pilate would release one prisoner for the people, whomever they requested.

So the crowd cried out and began to ask Pilate to do what he had always done for them.

He released the man they had been asking for, who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, but he handed Jesus over to their will.
