Mark 15:6-15

6But at [the] feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged [of him].

7Now there was the [person] named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with [him], [and] that had committed murder in the insurrection.

8And the crowd crying out began to beg [that he would do] to them as he had always done.

9But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?

10for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy.

11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

12And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do [to him] whom ye call King of the Jews?

13And they cried out again, Crucify him.

14And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him.

15And Pilate, desirous of contenting the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified.
