2 So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews? ” He answered him, “You have said it.”
3 And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.
4 Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Are You not answering anything? Look how many things they are accusing You of! ”
5 But Jesus still did not answer anything, so Pilate was amazed.
6 At the festival it was Pilate’s custom to release for the people a prisoner they requested.
7 There was one named Barabbas, who was in prison with rebels who had committed murder during the rebellion.
8 The crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do for them as was his custom.
