John 18:38--19:1
18:38 Pilate asked,
“What is truth?”
When he had said this he went back outside to the Jewish leaders and announced, “I find no basis for an accusation against him.
18:39 But it is your custom that I release one prisoner for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?”
18:40 Then they shouted back, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.)
Pilate Tries to Release Jesus
19:1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged severely.
