The Passion of Christ Season 1 Episode 3

Jesus' ambiguous responses and ultimate declaration to be the son of God are taken as his death sentence as blasphemer. Judas commits suicide. Pilate tries to avoid pronouncing a crucifixion as Jesus denies the claim of earthly power, so he offers the people his release or that of vile murderer Jesus Barabbas. Caiaphas swings the vote, so the 'king of Iudea' is flogged and crucified besides two murderers: one repentant, the other mocking his inability to save himself.
