Matthew 27:17-22

17So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus 1who is called Christ?” 18For he knew that it was because of envy that 2they had handed Him over.

19And 3while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, “See that you have nothing to do with that 4righteous Man; for 5last night I suffered greatly 6in a dream because of Him.” 20But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to 7ask for Barabbas, and to put Jesus to death. 21And the governor 8said 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 9who is called Christ?” They all said, “10Crucify Him!”
