27:17 So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

27:18 For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

27:19 While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.”

27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

27:21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

27:22 “What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

27:23 “Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

27:24 When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

27:25 All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

27:26 So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.
