Matthew 27:12-26

RYLT(i) 12 And in his being accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not answer any thing, 13 then said Pilate to him, 'Dost you not hear how many things they witness against you?' 14 And he did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor did wonder greatly. 15 And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed, 16 and they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas, 17 they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, 'Whom will you I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?' 18 for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up. 19 And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, 'Nothing -- to you and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-day in a dream because of him.' 20 And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus; 21 and the governor answering said to them, 'Which of the two will you that I shall release to you?' And they said, 'Barabbas.' 22 Pilate said to them, 'What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, 'Let be crucified!' 23 And the governor said, 'Why, what evil did he?' And they were crying out the more, saying, 'Let be crucified.' 24 And Pilate having seen that it profits nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, 'I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; you -- you shall see;' 25 and all the people answering said, 'His blood is upon us, and upon our children!' 26 Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him up that he may be crucified.
