Matthew 27:11-30

11NowG1161 JesusG2424 stoodG2476 before the governorG2232: and the governorG2232 askedG1905 him, sayingG3004, Art thou the KingG935 of the JewsG2453? And JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto him, Thou sayest. 12And when he was accusedG2723 by the chiefG749 priestsG749 and eldersG4245, he answeredG611 nothing. 13ThenG5119 saith PilateG4091 unto him, Hearest thou not howG4214 manyG4214 things they witness against thee? 14And he gave him no answerG611, not evenG2532 to oneG1520 word: insomuch that the governorG2232 marvelled greatlyG3029. 15NowG1161 at the feastG1859 the governorG2232 was wont to releaseG630 unto the multitudeG3793 oneG1520 prisonerG1198, whom they wouldG2309. 16And they had thenG5119 a notable prisonerG1198, called BarabbasG912. 17When thereforeG3767 they were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863, PilateG4091 saidG3004 unto them, Whom will ye that I releaseG630 unto you? BarabbasG912, or JesusG2424 who is called ChristG5547? 18For he knew that for envyG5355 they had deliveredG3860 him up. 19And while he was sittingG2521 on the judgment-seat, his wifeG1135 sentG649 unto him, sayingG3004, Have thou nothingG3367 to do with that righteousG1342 manG1342; for I have sufferedG3958 manyG4183 thingsG4183 this dayG4594 in a dreamG3677 because of him. 20NowG1161 the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the eldersG4245 persuadedG3982 the multitudesG3793 that they should askG154 for BarabbasG912, and destroyG622 JesusG2424. 21But the governorG2232 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, Which of the twoG1417 will ye that I releaseG630 unto you? And they saidG3004, BarabbasG912. 22PilateG4091 saith unto them, What thenG3767 shall I do unto JesusG2424 who is called ChristG5547? They all sayG3004, Let him be crucifiedG4717. 23And he saidG3004, WhyG5101, what evilG2556 hath he done? But they criedG2896 out exceedingly, sayingG3004, Let him be crucifiedG4717. 24So when PilateG4091 sawG3708 that he prevailed nothing, but ratherG3123 that a tumult wasG1510 arising, he tookG2983 waterG5204, and washed his handsG5495 before the multitudeG3793, sayingG3004, I amG1510 innocent of the bloodG129 of this righteous manG3778; seeG3708 ye to it. 25And all the peopleG2992 answeredG611 and saidG3004, His bloodG129 be on us, and on our childrenG5043. 26ThenG5119 releasedG630 he unto them BarabbasG912; but JesusG2424 he scourged and deliveredG3860 to be crucifiedG4717.

27ThenG5119 the soldiersG4757 of the governorG2232 tookG3880 JesusG2424 into the Prætorium, and gatheredG4863 unto him the wholeG3650 band. 28And they stripped him, and putG4060 on him a scarletG2847 robeG5511. 29And they platted a crownG4735 of thornsG173 and putG2007 it upon his headG2776, and a reedG2563 in his rightG1188 handG1188; and they kneeled downG1120 before him, and mockedG1702 him, sayingG3004, HailG5463, KingG935 of the JewsG2453! 30And they spatG1716 upon him, and tookG2983 the reedG2563 and smote him on the headG2776.
