John 18:38–40 · Berean Standard Bible

38 “What is truth?” Pilate asked. And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and told them, “I find no basis for a charge against Him.

39 But it is your custom that I release to you one prisoner at the Passover. So then, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”

40 “Not this man,” they shouted, “but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
