38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him.39 But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”40 They cried out again, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
John 19
4 Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him.”5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!”6 When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.”
Luke 23
13 Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. And after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him.15 Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, nothing deserving death has been done by him.16 I will therefore punish and release him.”18 But they all cried out together, “Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas”—19 a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city and for murder.20 Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus,21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify, crucify him!”22 A third time he said to them, “Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no guilt deserving death. I will therefore punish and release him.”23 But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed.24 So Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus over to their will.
Mark 15
6 Când era sărbătoare, el obişnuia să le elibereze un întemniţat pe care îl cereau ei.7 Şi era unul numit Baraba, întemniţat împreună cu nişte răzvrătiţi, care uciseseră oameni în timpul răscoalei.8 Iar mulţimea, urcându-se, a început să-i ceară să le facă după cum obişnuia.9 Pilat le-a răspuns: „Vreţi să-l eliberez pe regele iudeilor?”,10 fiindcă ştia că marii preoţi din invidie îl dăduseră în mâna lui.11 Dar marii preoţi au aţâţat mulţimea ca să-l elibereze mai degrabă pe Barnaba.12 Din nou i-a întrebat Pilat: „Şi ce vreţi să fac cu Cel căruia îi ziceţi regele iudeilor?”13 Şi iarăşi ei au strigat: „Răstigneşte-l!”14 „Dar ce rău a făcut?” a spus Pilat. Dar ei strigau şi mai tare: „Răstigneşte-l!”15 Atunci Pilat, vrând să facă pe placul mulţimii, le-a eliberat pe Baraba, iar pe Iisus l-a biciuit şi l-a dat să fie răstignit.
