You have a custom that I release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So, do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”They shouted back,“ Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.

But Festus, wanting to do the Jews a favor, replied to Paul,“ Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to be tried before me there on these charges?”

After two years had passed, Porcius Festus succeeded Felix, and because Felix wanted to do the Jews a favor, he left Paul in prison.

Then he handed him over to be crucified. Then they took Jesus away.

“ You know that the Passover takes place after two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

“ Not during the festival,” they said,“ so there won’t be rioting among the people.”

At the festival the governor’s custom was to release to the crowd a prisoner they wanted.At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.So when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them,“ Who is it you want me to release for you— Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”For he knew it was because of envy that they had handed him over.While he was sitting on the judge’s bench, his wife sent word to him,“ Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for today I’ve suffered terribly in a dream because of him.”The chief priests and the elders, however, persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to execute Jesus.The governor asked them,“ Which of the two do you want me to release for you?”“ Barabbas!” they answered.Pilate asked them,“ What should I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all answered,“ Crucify him!”Then he said,“ Why? What has he done wrong?” But they kept shouting all the more,“ Crucify him!”When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that a riot was starting instead, he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said,“ I am innocent of this man’s blood. See to it yourselves!”All the people answered,“ His blood be on us and on our children!”Then he released Barabbas to them and, after having Jesus flogged, handed him over to be crucified.

Therefore, I will have him whipped and then release him.”
