Matthew 27:17-26 When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do ye want I should release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do ye want I should release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? ¹⁸ For he knew that they delivered him up because of envy. ¹⁹ And while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, There is nothing for thee and that righteous man. For I suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. ²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. ²¹ Now the governor having answered, he said to them, Which of the two do ye want I would release to you? And they said, Barabbas. ²² Pilate says to them, What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ? They all say to him, He should be crucified. ²³ And the governor said, For what evil has he done? But they cried out even more, saying, He should be crucified. ²⁴ And when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather an uproar was developing, after taking water, he washed his hands in front of the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. See ye to it. ²⁵ And having answered, all the people said, His blood be on us, and on our children. ²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus he delivered him so that he would be crucified.
