Matthew 27:20-23

Murdock(i) 20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitude that they should demand Bar Abas, and destroy Jesus. 21 And the president answered, and said to them: Which of the two, will ye, that I release to you? And they said: Bar Abas. 22 Pilate said to them: And what shall I do to Jesus who is called Messiah? They all replied: Let him be crucified. 23 The president said to them: But what hath he done, that is evil? And they cried out the more, and said: Let him be crucified.
