¶ At the feast Pilate was wont to deliver at their pleasure a prisoner: whomsoever they would desire.
And the people called unto him, and began to desire of him, according as he had ever done unto them.
and let loose unto them, him that for insurrection, and murder was cast into prison, whom they desired: and delivered Iesus to do with him what they would.
