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.
9 So Pilate answered them, “Do you want me to release the King of the Jews for you? ”
10 For he knew it was because of envy that the chief priests had handed Him over.
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.
