RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whom they wanted. ¹⁶ And they had at that time a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas. ¹⁷ Therefore, when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? ¹⁸ For he knew that it was because of envy they had delivered him up.
