Event
The trial
Before Pilate
Jesus is declared innocent, yet handed over to the crowd that asks for Barabbas.
Inocente, mas condenado
Jesus goes before Annas, Caiaphas, the Sanhedrin, Pilate and Herod. Three times Pilate declares 'I find no basis for a charge against this man', but gives in to the pressure of the crowd.
Barabbas in His place
The people choose to free Barabbas, a criminal, and to crucify Jesus, the first living picture of the innocent traded for the guilty.
