Matthew 27:17-22

17SoG3767 when the crowd had assembledG846G4863, 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.

19While Pilate was sittingG846G2521 onG1909 theG3588 judgment seatG968, hisG846 wifeG1135 sentG649 himG846 this messageG3004: “Have nothing to do withG3367G4771G2532 thatG1565 innocentG1342 man, forG1063 I have sufferedG3958 terriblyG4183 inG2596 a dreamG3677 todayG4594 because ofG1223 HimG846.”

20ButG1161 theG3588 chief priestsG749 andG2532 eldersG4245 persuadedG3982 theG3588 crowdsG3793 toG2443 ask forG154 BarabbasG912 andG1161 to have Jesus put to deathG622G3588G2424.

21“WhichG5101 ofG575 theG3588 twoG1417 do you wantG2309 me to releaseG630 to youG4771?” askedG611 theG3588 governorG2232.

“BarabbasG912,” they repliedG2036.

22“WhatG5101 thenG3767 should I do withG4160 JesusG2424 whoG3588 is calledG3004 ChristG5547?” PilateG4091 askedG3004.

They all answeredG3956G3004, “Crucify HimG4717!”
