185:5.2 Just as the [[Jews]] were about to [[engage]] in shouting their [[protests]] against the release of [[Jesus]], a vast crowd came marching up to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praetorium praetorium] for the [[purpose]] of asking [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] for the release of a [[prisoner]] in [[honor]] of the [[Passover]] [[feast]]. For some time it had been the [[custom]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_governors Roman governors] to allow [[the populace]] to [[choose]] some [[imprisoned]] or [[condemned]] man for [[pardon]] at the time of the [[Passover]]. And now that this [[Mob|crowd]] had come before him to ask for the release of a [[prisoner]], and since [[Jesus]] had so recently been in great [[favor]] with [[the multitudes]], it occurred to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] that he might possibly extricate himself from his [[predicament]] by [[proposing]] to this [[group]] that, since [[Jesus]] was now a [[prisoner]] before his [[judgment]] seat, he release to them this man of [[Galilee]] as the token of [[Passover]] good will.

185:5.3 As the [[Mob|crowd]] surged up on the steps of the building, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] heard them calling out the [[name]] of one [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barabbas Barabbas]. Barabbas was a noted [[political]] [[agitator]] and [[murder]]ous robber, the son of a [[priest]], who had recently been apprehended in the [[act]] of robbery and [[murder]] on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho Jericho] road. This man was under [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_(Law) sentence] to die as soon as the [[Passover]] festivities were over.

185:5.4 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] stood up and [[explained]] to the crowd that [[Jesus]] had been brought to him by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol chief priests], who sought to have him put to [[death]] on certain charges, and that he did not [[think]] the man was [[worthy]] of [[death]]. Said [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate]: " Which, therefore, would you prefer that I release to you, this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barabbas Barabbas], the murderer, or this [[Jesus]] of [[Galilee]]? " And when Pilate had thus [[spoken]], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol chief priests] and the [[Sanhedrin]] [[councilors]] all shouted at the top of their [[voices]], " Barabbas, Barabbas! " And when [[the people]] saw that the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol chief priests] were minded to have [[Jesus]] put to [[death]], they quickly joined in the clamor for his life while they loudly shouted for the release of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barabbas Barabbas].[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_23]

185:5.5 A few days before this [[the multitude]] had stood in [[awe]] of [[Jesus]], but the [[mob]] did not look up to one who, having claimed to be the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_God Son of God], now found himself in the [[custody]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol chief priests] and the rulers and on [[trial]] before [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] for his life. [[Jesus]] could be a [[hero]] in the eyes of [[the populace]] when he was [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_173#173:1._CLEANSING_THE_TEMPLE driving the money-changers and the traders out of the temple], but not when he was a [[nonresisting]] [[prisoner]] in the hands of his [[enemies]] and on [[trial]] for his life.

185:5.6 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] was [[angered]] at the [[sight]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol chief priests] clamoring for the [[pardon]] of a [[notorious]] [[murderer]] while they shouted for the [[blood]] of [[Jesus]]. He saw their malice and [[hatred]] and [[perceived]] their [[prejudice]] and [[envy]]. Therefore he said to them: " How could you [[choose]] the life of a [[murderer]] in [[preference]] to this man's whose worst [[crime]] is that he figuratively calls himself the [[king]] of the [[Jews]]? " But this was not a [[wise]] [[statement]] for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] to make.

185:5.7 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] knew [[Jesus]] was [[innocent]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_charge charges] brought against him, and had he been a [[Justice|just]] and [[courageous]] [[judge]], he would have [[acquitted]] him and turned him loose.

185:5.8 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] indicated to those assembled before him that he [[wished]] to [[read]] the [[communication]] which he had just [[received]] before he [[proceeded]] further with the matter before him.
