Pontius Pilate - Wikipedia
Trial and execution of Jesus —
“All four gospels also mention that Pilate had the custom of releasing one captive in honor of the Passover festival; this custom is not attested in any other source. Historians disagree on whether or not such a custom is a fictional element of the gospels, reflects historical reality, or perhaps represents a single amnesty in the year of Jesus's crucifixion.”

So, from Wiki . . . maybe they didn’t.
And just for the record, yes, I think Wikipedia is a pretty okay place, at least to start.
