¶ The chief priests and the seniors had persuaded the people, that they should ask Barabbas, and should destroy Iesus.
The deputy answered and said unto them: whether of the twain will ye that I let loose unto you? And they said, Barabbas.
But the high priests had moved the people that he should rather deliver Barabas unto them.
Then cried they all again saying: Not him, but Barabas. Barabas was a robber.
and he preached in the synagogue every saboth day, And exhorted the jewes and the gentiles.
