Barabbas, or Jesus 3who is called Christ?” 18For he knew that because of envy they had handed Him over.

194While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, “Have nothing to do with that 5righteous Man; for 6last night I suffered greatly 7in a dream because of Him.” 20But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to 8ask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death. 21But the governor 9said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.” 22Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus 10who is called Christ?” They all said, “11Crucify Him!” 23And he said, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they kept shouting all the more, saying, “12Crucify Him!”
