Mark 15:11

Twentieth Century New Testament 1904

But the Chief Priests incited the crowd to get Barabbas released instead.

See the chapter Copy

But the Chief Priests and the Councillors persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to kill Jesus.

For he was aware that it was out of jealousy that the Chief Priests had given Jesus up to him.

Pilate, however, spoke to them again: "What shall I do then with the man whom you call the 'King of the Jews'?"

"No, not this man," they shouted again, "but Barabbas!" This Barabbas was a robber.

You, I say, disowned the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for the release of a murderer!
