Quoted By:
John chapter 18
>Verses 1-28: the Jews abduct Jesus and decide he should be killed, but realize they cannot legally kill him. Therefore they take him to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea.
>Verses 29-40: Pilate faces the Jew mob., Pilate says Jesus has done nothing wrong. The mob becomes angrier. Pilate, says, since it's Passover, I'll free a Jewish prisoner. Here, take Jesus. The mob rejects Jesus and says give us Barabbas the robber instead.
