Mark 15:9

The Text-Critical English New Testament

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

See the chapter Copy

(For he knew that the chief priests had handed Jesus over out of envy.)

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

But you have a custom that I release for you one man at the Passover. So do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?”
