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

Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked.

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

At the festival Pilate used to release for the people a prisoner whom they requested.

Now at the Passover Feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested.

Now at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested.

Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

At the festival it was Pilate’s custom to release for the people a prisoner they requested.

Now at[ that] feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

During the feast it was customary to release one prisoner to the people, whomever they requested.

Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release‘ the king of the Jews’?They shouted back,“ No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.

Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul,“ Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me there on these charges?”

When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, but because Felix wanted to grant a favor to the Jews, he left Paul in prison.

Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus.

“ As you know, the Passover is two days away— and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

“ But not during the festival,” they said,“ or there may be a riot among the people.”

Now it was the governor’s custom at the festival to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd.At that time they had a well- known prisoner whose name was Jesus Barabbas.So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them,“ Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?”For he knew it was out of self- interest that they had handed Jesus over to him.While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message:“ Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.”But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.“ Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor.“ Barabbas,” they answered.“ What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered,“ Crucify him!”“ Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder,“ Crucify him!”When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd.“ I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said.“ It is your responsibility!”All the people answered,“ His blood is on us and on our children!”Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.

Therefore, I will punish him and then release him.”
