Matthew 27:17-22

17They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

18For he knew that they had delivered him up through envy.

19But, as he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous [man]; for I have suffered to-day many things in a dream because of him.

20But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should beg for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

21And the governor answering said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.

22Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.
