Matthew 27:10-20

10 and they gave them into a field of a potter, as the Lord hath ordained to me [as the Lord ordained to me].
11 And Jesus stood before the doomsman; and the justice asked him, and said [and the president asked him, saying], Art thou king of Jews? Jesus saith to him, Thou sayest.
12 And when he was accused of the princes of priests, and of the elder men of the people [and elder men of the people], he answered nothing.
13 Then Pilate saith to him, Hearest thou not, how many things [how many witnessings] they say against thee?
14 And he answered not to him any word, so that the justice wondered greatly [so that the president wondered greatly].
15 But for a solemn day the justice was wont to deliver to the people one bound [Forsooth by a solemn day the president was wont to deliver to the people one bound], whom they would.
16 And he had then a famous man bound [Soothly they had then one famous man bound], that was said Barabbas.
17 Therefore Pilate said to them, when they were [gathered] together, Whom will ye, that I deliver to you [Whom will ye, I let go, or deliver, to you]? whether Barabbas, or Jesus, that is said Christ?
18 For he knew, that by envy they betrayed him. [Soothly he knew, that by envy they betook him.]
19 And while he sat for doomsman [Forsooth him sitting for judge], his wife sent to him, and said [saying], Nothing to thee and to that just man; for I have suffered this day many things for him, by a vision [by a vision, or sweven].
20 Forsooth the princes of priests, and the elder men counseled the people, that they should ask Barabbas, but they should destroy Jesus. [Forsooth the princes of priests and elder men counseled the peoples, that they should ask Barabbas, but Jesus they should lose.]
