New Testament

Mark 15:7-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

7. And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion.

8. Then the multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them.

9. But Pilate answered them, saying, “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 because of envy.

11. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
