»Now it was the Governor's custom at the Festival to release some one prisoner, whomsoever the populace desired;
Now at the Festival it was customary for Pilate to release to the Jews any one prisoner whom they might beg off from punishment;
I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him.«
Then the whole multitude burst out into a shout. »Away with this man,« they said, »and release Barabbas to us«
But you have a custom that I should release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So shall I release to you the King of the Jews?«
