And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Now at that feast, the governor was wont to release to the people a prisoner, whom they would.
Therefore when they were assembled, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?
And there was one named Barabbas, who lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
And he released to them him that for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
But ye denied the Holy One, and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted to you,
Who, knowing the judgment of God, that they who commit such things are worthy of death; not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Salute Andronicus and Junia my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
