Mark 15:5
3 And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.
4 Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”
But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.
6 Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.
7 And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
