   [30] They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would   
   not have delivered him up unto thee.   
   [31] Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to   
   your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put   
   any man to death:   
   [32] That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying   
   what death he should die.   
   [33] Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and   
   said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?   
   [34] Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others   
   tell it thee of me?   
   [35] Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests   
   have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?   
   [36] Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of   
   this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to   
   the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.   
   [37] Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered,   
   Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause   
   came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one   
   that is of the truth heareth my voice.   
   [38] Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he   
   went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at   
   all.   
      
   Jesus Sentenced to Die   
   Mt 27:15-31; Mk 15:6-20; Lk 23:13-25   
      
   39 (Mt 27:15-18) "But you have a custom, that I should release someone   
   to you at the Passover. Do you therefore want me to release to you   
   the King of the Jews?"   
   40 They all shouted again, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!"   
   Now Barabbas was a robber.   
      
   [39] But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the   
   passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?   
   [40] Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now   
   Barabbas was a robber.   
      
   Mark 15:6-15   
      
   Jesus Sentenced to Die   
   Mt 27:15-26; Lk 23:13-25; Jn 18:39-19:16   
      
   6 (Jn 18:39-40) Now at the feast he always released to them one prisoner,   
   whomever they requested.   
   7 There was one named Barabbas, who had committed murder   
   in the insurrection and was bound with the rebels.   
   8 The crowd began crying aloud, asking Pilate to do as he had always   
   done for them.   
   9 He answered them, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"   
   10 For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over out of envy.   
   11 (Ac 3:14) But the chief priests stirred the people,   
   so that he should instead release Barabbas to them.   
   12 Pilate answered them again, "What then would you have me do to Him   
   whom you call the King of the Jews?"   
   13 They again cried out, "Crucify Him!"   
   14 (Lk 23:41) Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has He done?"   
   But they cried out even more, "Crucify Him!"   
   15 (Mt 27:26; Jn 19:1) So Pilate, resolving to satisfy the people,   
   released Barabbas to them. And when he had scourged Jesus,   
   he handed Him over to be crucified.   
      
   [6] Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they   
   desired.   
   [7] And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had   
   made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.   
   [8] And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever   
   done unto them.   
   [9] But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the   
   King of the Jews?   
   [10] For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.   
   [11] But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release   
   Barabbas unto them.   
   [12] And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I   
   shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?   
   [13] And they cried out again, Crucify him.   
   [14] Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried   
   out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.   
   [15] And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto   
   them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.   
      
   Matthew 27:15-26   
      
   Jesus Sentenced to Die   
   Mk 15:6-15; Lk 23:13-25; Jn 18:39-19:16   
      
   15 Now at the feast, the governor was accustomed to releasing   
   to the people a prisoner whom they chose.   
   16 They had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.   
   17 So when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them,   
   "Whom do you want me to release to you—Barabbas,   
   or Jesus who is called Christ?"   
   18 (Pr 27:4) For he knew that they had handed Him over out of envy.   
   19 (Mt 27:24; Lk 23:47) When he was sitting on the judgment seat,   
   his wife sent word to him, "Have nothing to do with that righteous Man,   
   for I have suffered much today in a dream on account of Him."   
   20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas   
   and kill Jesus.   
   21 The governor answered, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?"   
   They said, "Barabbas."   
   22 Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus   
   who is called Christ?"   
   They all said to him, "Let Him be crucified!"   
   23 The governor said, "Why, what evil has He done?"   
   But they cried out all the more, "Let Him be crucified!"   
   24 (Mt 27:4; Ps 26:6) When Pilate saw that he could not prevail,   
   but rather that unrest was beginning, he took water   
   and washed his hands before the crowd, saying,   
   "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous Man. See to it yourselves."   
   25 (Jos 2:19; Ac 5:28) Then all the people answered, "His blood be on us   
   and on our children!"   
   26 (Jn 19:1; Isa 53:5) Then he released Barabbas to them.   
   But when he had scourged Jesus, he handed Him over to be crucified.   
      
   [15] Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a   
   prisoner, whom they would.   
   [16] And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.   
   [17] Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom   
   will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?   
   [18] For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.   
   [19] When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him,   
   saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many   
   things this day in a dream because of him.   
   [20] But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they   
   should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.   
   [21] The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye   
   that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.   
   [22] Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called   
   Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.   
   [23] And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out   
   the more, saying, Let him be crucified.   
   [24] When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult   
   was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying,   
   I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.   
   [25] Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our   
   children.   
   [26] Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he   
   delivered him to be crucified.   
      
   Luke 23:13-25   
      
   Jesus Sentenced to Die   
   Mt 27:15-26; Mk 15:6-15; Jn 18:39-19:16   
      
   13 Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,   
   14 and said to them, "You have brought this Man to me as one who incites   
   the people. And truly, I, having examined Him before you, have found   
   no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him.   
   15 No, neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, nothing worthy   
   of death has been done by Him.
