15
Now at that feast, the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
16
And they had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.
17
Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, "Whom will ye that I release unto you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"
18
For he knew that for envy they had delivered Him.
19
When he had sat down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, "Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."
20
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
21
The governor answered and said unto them, "Which of the two will ye that I release unto you?" They said, "Barabbas!"
22
Pilate said unto them, "What shall I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ?" They all said unto him, "Let him be crucified!"
23
And the governor said, "Why, what evil hath he done?" But they cried out the more, saying, "Let him be crucified!"
