After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.

But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”

Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way.”

Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.

The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.

When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?”

But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages, and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.”

Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away.

If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way.”

Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.

Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”

But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.

Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;

Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.

But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.

I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—

Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,

He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.

But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”

Pilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?”

At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.

The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”
