Now it was the governor’s custom at the festival to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd.

It was the governor’s practice at the Passover Feast to let one prisoner go free. The people could choose the one they wanted.

Now it was the governor’s custom each year during the Passover celebration to release one prisoner to the crowd— anyone they wanted.

At the festival the governor’s custom was to release to the crowd a prisoner they wanted.

Now at the Passover Feast the governor was accustomed to release for the people any one prisoner whom they wanted.

Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished.

Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.

At the festival the governor’s custom was to release to the crowd a prisoner they wanted.

Now at[ that] feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

During the feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whomever they wanted.

Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.

But they said,“ Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.”

I will therefore punish and release him.”

So he delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus,

Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked.And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas.And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he usually did for them.And he answered them, saying,“ Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up.But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead.And Pilate again said to them,“ Then what shall I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?”And they cried out again,“ Crucify him.”And Pilate said to them,“ Why? what evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more,“ Crucify him.”So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

Pilate said to him,“ What is truth?” After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them,“ I find no guilt in him.But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”They cried out again,“ Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

When two years had elapsed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And desiring to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.

But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul,“ Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem and there be tried on these charges before me?”
