Matthew 27:17-24 When therefore they were assembled, Pilate said to them: Whom will ye that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ When therefore they were assembled, Pilate said to them: Whom will ye that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? ¹⁸ For he knew that through envy they delivered him up. ¹⁹ And as he sat on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying: Have nothing to do with that just man; for I suffered much this day, in a dream, because of him. ²⁰ And the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes, that they should ask for Barabbas, and should destroy Jesus. ²¹ And the governor answering said to them: Which of the two will ye that I release to you? And they said: Barabbas. ²² Pilate says to them: What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say to him: Let him be crucified. ²³ And the governor said: What evil then did he? But they cried the more, saying: Let him be crucified. ²⁴ And Pilate, seeing that it avails nothing, but rather that a tumult is made, took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man. Look ye to it.
