PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE BARABBAS MAT 27:16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. MAT 27:17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? MAT 27:18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. MAT 27:19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. MAT 27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. MAT 27:21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. MAT 27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. MAT 27:23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. MAT 27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. MAT 27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. MAT 27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. MAR 15:7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. MAR 15:8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. MAR 15:9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? MAR 15:10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. MAR 15:11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. MAR 15:12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? MAR 15:13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. MAR 15:14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him. MAR 15:15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. LUK 23:18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: LUK 23:19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) LUK 23:20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. LUK 23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. LUK 23:22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. LUK 23:23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. LUK 23:24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. LUK 23:25 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. JOH 18:40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. ACT 3:14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; ============================== THE LECTRONIC IBRARY ECHANGE P.O.
