Answer Details
According to the Gospel of Mark, Pilate asked the question, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?" because he perceived that the Jewish leaders who had brought Jesus to him were envious of Jesus' popularity and influence among the people. Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent, and he wanted to release him. However, he was also afraid of the possibility of a riot by the Jews, who were demanding Jesus' crucifixion. So, he asked the people if they wanted him to release Jesus or Barabbas, hoping that they would choose Jesus.
