And there was one named Barabbas, who lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
