Mark 15:9

9: "Should I give you the King of the Jews?" Pilate asked.

As the crowds gathered before Pilate's house that morning, he asked them, "Which one do you want me to release to you--Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?"
(He knew very well that the Jewish leaders had arrested Jesus out of envy.)
Just then, as Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: "Leave that innocent man alone, because I had a terrible nightmare about him last night."
Meanwhile, the leading priests and other leaders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas to be released and for Jesus to be put to death.
So when the governor asked again, "Which of these two do you want me to release to you?" the crowd shouted back their reply: "Barabbas!"

But you have a custom of asking me to release someone from prison each year at Passover. So if you want me to, I'll release the King of the Jews."

It was now about noon of the day of preparation for the Passover. And Pilate said to the people, "Here is your king!"
"Away with him," they yelled. "Away with him--crucify him!What? Crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king but Caesar," the leading priests shouted back.
Then Pilate gave Jesus to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.

For it is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of all our ancestors who has brought glory to his servant Jesus by doing this. This is the same Jesus whom you handed over and rejected before Pilate, despite Pilate's decision to release him.
You rejected this holy, righteous one and instead demanded the release of a murderer.
You killed the author of life, but God raised him to life. And we are witnesses of this fact!

Pilate went outside again and said to the people, "I am going to bring him out to you now, but understand clearly that I find him not guilty."
Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said, "Here is the man!"
