Mark 15:8 — Meaning and Application

Now at {that} feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

And there was {one} named Barabbas, {which lay} bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

And the multitude crying aloud began to desire {him to do} as he had ever done unto them.

But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
