Johannes 18,40

Barabbas

38 Pilatus sa til ham: "Hva er sannhet?" Med dette gikk han igjen ut til jødene som var samlet der og sa: "Jeg finner ingen grunnlag for en anklage mot ham.

39 Men det er deres skikk at jeg løslater en fange til dere ved påsken. Vil dere at jeg skal løslate 'jødenes konge'?"

De ropte tilbake: "Ikke denne mannen, men Barabbas!" Nå var Barabbas en opprører.
