²⁰But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.^(A)

²¹“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor.

“Barabbas,” they answered.

²²“What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?”^(B) Pilate asked.

They all answered, “Crucify him!”

¹¹But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

¹²“What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.
