Da schrieen sie wieder allesamt und sprachen: Nicht diesen, sondern Barabbas! Barabbas aber war ein Mörder.
Entonces todos dieron voces otra vez, diciendo: No a éste, sino a Barrabás. Y Barrabás era ladrón.
Alors de nouveau tous s'écrièrent: Non pas lui, mais Barabbas. Or, Barabbas était un brigand.
E tutti gridarono di nuovo, dicendo: Non costui, anzi Barabba. Or Barabba era un ladrone
Então todos tornaram a clamar, dizendo: Este não, mas Barrabás. E Barrabás era um salteador.
