Matthew 27:11-18

11MeanwhileG1161 JesusG2424 stoodG2476 beforeG1715 theG3588 governorG2232 , whoG3588 questionedG1905 HimG846 : “AreG1510 YouG4771 theG3588 KingG935 of theG3588 JewsG2453?”

“YouG4771 have saidG3004 so ,” JesusG2424 repliedG5346.

12AndG2532 when He was accusedG1722 G3588 G846 G2723 byG5259 theG3588 chief priestsG749 andG2532 eldersG4245, He gave no answerG611 G3762.

13ThenG5119 PilateG4091 askedG3004 HimG846, “Do You not hearG3756 G191 how manyG4214 charges they are bringing againstG2649 YouG4771?”

14ButG2532 Jesus gave no answerG3756 G611 G846, not evenG3761 toG4314 a singleG1520 chargeG4487, muchG3029 toG5620 theG3588 governor’sG2232 amazementG2296.

15NowG1161 it was theG3588 governor’sG2232 customG1486 atG2596 the feastG1859 to releaseG630 to theG3588 crowdG3793 aG1520 prisonerG1198 ofG3739 their choosingG2309. 16 At that timeG5119 they were holdingG2192 a notoriousG1978 prisonerG1198 namedG3004 BarabbasG912.1 17SoG3767 when the crowd had assembledG846 G4863 , PilateG4091 askedG2036 themG846, “WhichG5101 one do you wantG2309 me to releaseG630 to youG4771 : BarabbasG912, orG2228 JesusG2424 whoG3588 is calledG3004 ChristG5547?” 18ForG1063 he knewG1492 it was out ofG1223 envyG5355 that they had handed Jesus overG3860 to himG846.
