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.
