9 But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”
10 For he knew that out of envy the ruling kohanim had handed Him over.
11 But the ruling kohanim stirred up the crowd, so he would release Bar-Abba to them instead.
12 Then answering again, Pilate said to them, “So what do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”
13 They shouted back, “Execute Him!”
14 Pilate responded, “Why? What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the more, “Execute Him!”
15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Bar-Abba for them. And after he had Yeshua scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
