6 During Passover, Pilate always freed one prisoner chosen by the people. 7 And at that time there was a prisoner named Barabbas. He and some others had been arrested for murder during a riot. 8 The crowd now came and asked Pilate to set a prisoner free, just as he usually did.
9 Pilateasked them, "Do you want me to free the king of the Jews?" 10 Pilate knew that the chief priests had brought Jesus to him because they were jealous.
11 But the chief priests told the crowd to ask Pilate to free Barabbas.
12 Then Pilateasked the crowd, "What do you want me to do with this man you say is15.12 this man you say is: These words are not in some manuscripts.the king of the Jews?"
13 They yelled, "Nail him to a cross!"
14 Pilateasked, "But what crime has he done?"
"Nail him to a cross!" they yelled even louder.
