Matthew 27:11-18

11 1NowG1161 JesusG2424 stoodG2476 beforeG1715 the governorG2232, and the governorG2232 questionedG1905 Him, sayingG3004, “Are You the 2KingG935 of the JewsG2453?” And JesusG2424 saidG5346 to him, “3It is as you sayG3004.” 12And whileG1722 He was being accusedG2723 by the chiefG749 priestsG749 and eldersG4245, 4He did not answerG611. 13ThenG5119 PilateG4091 saidG3004 to Him, “Do You not hearG191 howG4214 manyG4214 thingsG4214 they testifyG2649 againstG2649 You?” 14And 5He did not answerG611 him with regardG4314 to evenG3761 a single 6chargeG4487, soG5620 the governorG2232 was quiteG3029 amazedG2296.

15 7NowG1161 at the feastG1859 the governorG2232 was accustomedG1486 to releaseG630 for the 8peopleG3793 any oneG1520 prisonerG1198 whomG3739 they wantedG2309. 16At that timeG5119 they were holdingG2192 a notoriousG1978 prisonerG1198, calledG3004 BarabbasG912. 17SoG3767 when the peopleG846 gatheredG4863 togetherG4863, PilateG4091 saidG3004 to them, “WhomG5101 do you wantG2309 me to releaseG630 for you? BarabbasG912, orG2228 JesusG2424 9who is calledG3004 ChristG5547?” 18For he knewG3609 that becauseG1223 of envyG5355 they had handedG3860 Him over.
