Mark

⁷A man named Barabbas was imprisoned with rebels who had committed murder during an insurrection. ⁸Then the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to release a prisoner for them, as was his custom. ⁹So Pilate asked them, “Do you want me to release the king of the Jews for you?” ¹⁰(For he knew that the chief priests had handed him over because of envy.) ¹¹But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas instead. ¹²So Pilate spoke to them again, “Then what do you want me to do with the one you call king of the Jews?” ¹³They shouted back, “Crucify him!”
