Matthew 27:8-18

8 Therefore that field was called the Field of Blood unto this day.
9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of Him that was valued, whom they the children of Israel did value,
10 and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me."
11 And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked Him, saying, "Art thou the King of the Jews?" And Jesus said unto him, "Thou sayest."
12 And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.
13 Then said Pilate unto Him, "Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?"
14 And He answered him never a word, insomuch that the governor marveled greatly.
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.
