John 18:38-40

Living Bible

³⁸ “What is truth?” Pilate exclaimed. Then he went out again to the people and told them, “He is not guilty of any crime. ³⁹ But you have a custom of asking me to release someone from prison each year at Passover. So if you want me to, I’ll release the ‘King of the Jews.’”

⁴⁰ But they screamed back. “No! Not this man, but Barabbas!” Barabbas was a robber.
