Matthew 27:17-26

MLV(i) 17 Therefore, having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do you wish that I may release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ? 18 For he knew that they had given him up because of envy.
19 Now while sitting upon the judicial-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing between you and that righteous man; for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.
20 Now the high-priests and the elders persuaded the crowds in order that they should ask for Barabbas and should destroy Jesus. 21 But the governor answered and said to them, Whom do you will that I may release to you from the two?
But they said, Barabbas!
22 Pilate says to them, Therefore what should I do to Jesus who is called Christ?
They all say to him, Let him be crucified!
23 But the governor said, For what evil has he done?
But they were crying out even-more, saying, Let him be crucified!
24 Pilate seeing he profited nothing, but rather that an uproar is happening, took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; you will see to it.
25 And all the people answered and said, His blood is upon us and upon our children.
26 Then he released to them Barabbas, but having scourged Jesus, he gave him up in order that he should be crucified.
