8. The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.
9. Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
10. For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
11. But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.
12. Pilate again asked them, “What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
13. They cried out again, “Crucify him!”
14. Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?”But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!”
15. Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Yeshua, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
