But they cried aloud, with the whole throng, saying - Away with this man! and release unto us Barabbas: -

who indeed, because of a certain revolt which had occurred in the city, and of murder, had been thrown into prison.

But they became urgent with loud voices, claiming to have him crucified; and their voices began to prevail.

And, Pilate, consented, that their request should be granted;

and released him who, for revolt and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they claimed, - whereas, Jesus, delivered he up unto their will.
