Matthew 27:11-18

11 1NowG1161 JesusG2424 stoodG2476 beforeG1715 the governorG2232, and the governorG2232 questionedG1905 Him, sayingG3004, “So You are 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 offerG611 anyG3762 answerG611. 13ThenG5119 PilateG4091 saidG3004 to Him, “Do You not hearG191 howG4214 manyG4214 thingsG4214 they are testifyingG2649 againstG2649 You?” 14And still 5He did not answerG611 him inG4314 regardG4314 toG4314 evenG3761 a singleG1520 6chargeG4487, soG5620 the governorG2232 wasG2296 greatlyG3029 amazedG2296.

15 7NowG1161 at the Passover FeastG1859 the governorG2232 was accustomedG1486 to releaseG630 for the 8peopleG3793 any oneG1520 prisonerG1198 whomG3739 they wantedG2309. 16And atG5119 thatG5119 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 it was becauseG1223 of envyG5355 that 10they had handedG3860 Him overG3860.
