1 And anon in the dawning, the hie Priestes helde a Councill with the Elders, and the Scribes, and the whole Council, and bound Iesus, and led him away, and deliuered him to Pilate. 2 Then Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered, and sayde vnto him, Thou sayest it. 3 And the hie Priestes accused him of many things. 4 Wherefore Pilate asked him againe, saying, Answerest thou nothing? beholde howe many things they witnesse against thee. 5 But Iesus answered no more at all, so that Pilate marueiled. 6 Nowe at the feast, Pilate did deliuer a prisoner vnto them, whomesoeuer they woulde desire. 7 Then there was one named Barabbas, which was bounde with his fellowes, that had made insurrection, who in the insurrection had committed murther. 8 And the people cried aloude, and began to desire that he woulde doe as he had euer done vnto them. 9 Then Pilate answered them, and said, Will ye that I let loose vnto you the King of ye Iewes? 10 For he knewe that the hie Priestes had deliuered him of enuie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the chief priests moved the people,.... Greatly solicited and persuaded them, both in person, and by their officers they employed, and dispersed among them, to make use of arguments with them to prevail upon them:
that he should rather release Barabbas unto them; than Jesus of Nazareth; choosing rather to have a murderer granted unto them, than the holy and just one. The Persic version, as before, reads, "the chief of the priests"; but they were all concerned, and were the most active men in bringing about the death of Christ; though Caiaphas was behind none of them in envy, rage, and malice;
