Question on: JSS2 Christian Religious Studies (CRS) - The trial of Christ II

There was a custom of releasing a prisoner at the feast of the Passover. Pilate asked the people whether the people whether he should release Jesus or a prisoner called Barabbas. This Barabbas was a troublemaker and Pilate thought the people would ask for the release of Jesus. But the chief priest persuaded the people to have Barabbas released. When Pilate asked what evil Jesus had done, they replied that he should be crucified. Again Pilate asked what evil Jesus had done, but they shouted the more: “Crucify him.”
