ὑμεῖς δὲ τὸν ἅγιον καὶ δίκαιον ἠρνήσασθε καὶ ᾐτήσασθε ἄνδρα φονέα χαρισθῆναι ὑμῖν
But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
οἱ δὲ ἐκραύγασαν Ἆρον ἆρον σταύρωσον αὐτόν λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος Τὸν βασιλέα ὑμῶν σταυρώσω ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς Οὐκ ἔχομεν βασιλέα εἰ μὴ Καίσαρα
But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
ἐκραύγασαν οὖν πάλιν πάντες λέγοντες Μὴ τοῦτον ἀλλὰ τὸν Βαραββᾶν ἦν δὲ ὁ Βαραββᾶς λῃστής
Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς ἀνέσεισαν τὸν ὄχλον ἵνα μᾶλλον τὸν Βαραββᾶν ἀπολύσῃ αὐτοῖς
But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
ἀνέκραξαν δὲ παμπληθεὶ λέγοντες Αἶρε τοῦτον ἀπόλυσον δὲ ἡμῖν τὸν Βαραββᾶν·
And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
Ἐγένετο δὲ κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν ἐκεῖνον τάραχος οὐκ ὀλίγος περὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ
And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
καὶ ταῦτα λέγοντες μόλις κατέπαυσαν τοὺς ὄχλους τοῦ μὴ θύειν αὐτοῖς
And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had done not sacrifice unto them.
