5 But Jesus gave no more answers, so that Pilate marveled.
6 During the festival, Pilate released one prisoner to them, whomever they requested.
7 A man named Barabbas was locked up with the rebels who had committed murder during an uprising.
8 The crowd pushed forward and asked Pilate to release someone, as he regularly did.
9 Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?"
10 He knew that the chief priests had handed him over because of jealousy.
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.
