17 So when they were assembled, Pilate said to them, Whom do you desire me to release to you? Barabbas; or Jesus who is called Christ?
18 For he knew that out of envy they had delivered him up.
19 And while he was sitting on the tribunal, his wife had sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that righteous person; for I have this day suffered much in a dream on his account.
20 But the chief priests and the elders had prevailed on the people that they should demand Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 So when the governor, addressing them, said, Which of the two do you desire me to release to you? They said, Barabbas.
22 Pilate saith to them, What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.
23 Thereupon the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they with more vehemence cried, Let him be crucified.
24 When Pilate saw that he could not in the least prevail, but that a tumult rather was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am clear from the blood of this innocent person. Look ye to it.
25 Upon which all the people, answering, said, His blood be upon us and upon our children.
26 Then he released to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him up to be crucified.
