Matthew 27:17-26 They therefore having come together, Pilate, said to them––Whom will ye I should release unto you? Barabbas? or Jesus, who is called Christ?

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ They therefore having come together, Pilate, said to them––Whom will ye I should release unto you? Barabbas? or Jesus, who is called Christ? ¹⁸ For he knew that, for envy, they had delivered him up. ¹⁹ And, as he was sitting upon the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man, for, many things, have I suffered this day, by dream, because of him. ²⁰ But, the High–priests and the elders, persuaded the multitudes, that they should claim Barabbas, but, Jesus, should, destroy. ²¹ Now the governor, answering, said unto them––Which of the two desire ye I should release unto you? And they said––Barabbas! ²² Pilate saith unto them––What then shall I do unto Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say––Let him be crucified! ²³ But, he, said––Indeed! what evil hath he done? But, they, vehemently, were crying aloud, saying––Let him be crucified! ²⁴ And Pilate, seeing, that, nothing, it availed, but rather, a tumult, was arising, taking water, washed his hands of it before the multitude, saying––Innocent, am I, of the blood of this man,––Ye, shall see to it for yourselves. ²⁵ And all the people, answering, said––His blood be upon us and upon our children!
²⁶ Then released he unto them Barabbas, but, scourging, Jesus, delivered him up, that he might be crucified.
