And there was the so-called Barabbas, with the rebels, bound, even with them who, in the rebellion, had committed, murder.

And, going up, the multitude began to be claiming - according as he was wont to do for them.

But, Pilate, answered them, saying - Will ye, I release unto you, the King of the Jews?

For he was getting to know that, for envy, had the High-priestsdelivered him up.

But, the High-priests, stirred up the multitude, that, rather Barabbas, he should release unto them.

But, Pilate, again answering, was saying unto them - What then shall I do with him whom ye call, the King of the Jews?

And, they, again, cried out - Crucify him!

But, Pilate, was saying unto them - Why! what, evil, hath he done? And, they, vehemently, cried out - Crucify him!

And Pilate, being minded to do what would satisfy, the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, having scourged him, that he should be crucified.
