17 Therefore. when they were assembled, Pilate said to them, Whom shall I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Messiah?
18 (For he perceived that through envy they had delivered him up;
19 besides, while he was sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent him this message, Have nothing to do with this innocent person; for today, I have suffered much in a dream, on his account.)
20 But the chief priests and elders instigated the populace to demand Barabbas, and cause Jesus to be executed.
21 Therefore, when the procurator asked, which of the two he should release, they all answered, Barabbas.
22 Pilate replied, What then shall I do with Jesus, whom they call Messiah? They all answered, Let him be crucified.
23 The procurator said, Why? What evil has he done? But they cried the louder, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 Pilate perceiving that he was so far from prevailing, that they grew more tumultuous, took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this innocent person. See you to it.
25 And all the people answering, said, His blood be upon us, and upon your children.
26 Then he released Barabbas to them, and having caused Jesus to be scourged, delivered him up to be crucified.
