Matthew 27:15-23

151NowG1161 at the feastG1859 the governorG2232 was accustomedG1486 to releaseG630 for the 2peopleG3793 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 3who is calledG3004 ChristG5547?” 18For he knewG3609 that becauseG1223 of envyG5355 they had handedG3860 Him over.

194While he was sittingG2521 on the judgmentG968 seatG968, his wifeG1135 sentG649 him a message, sayingG3004, “Have nothingG3367 to do with that 5righteousG1342 ManG1342; for 6lastG4594 nightG4594 I sufferedG3958 greatlyG4183 7in a dreamG3677 becauseG1223 of Him.” 20But the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the eldersG4245 persuadedG3982 the crowdsG3793 to 8askG154 for BarabbasG912 and to putG622 JesusG2424 to deathG622. 21But the governorG2232 9saidG3004 to them, “WhichG5101 of the twoG1417 do you wantG2309 me to releaseG630 for you?” And they saidG3004, “BarabbasG912.” 22PilateG4091 saidG3004 to them, “ThenG3767 whatG5101 shall I doG4160 with JesusG2424 10who is calledG3004 ChristG5547?” They allG3956 saidG3004, “11CrucifyG4717 Him!” 23And he saidG5346, “WhyG1063, whatG5101 evilG2556 has He doneG4160?” But they kept shoutingG2896 allG4057 the moreG4057, sayingG3004, “12CrucifyG4717 Him!”
