Matthew 27:15-23

151NowG1161 at the Passover FeastG1859 the governorG2232 was accustomedG1486 to releaseG630 for the 2peopleG3793 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 3who is calledG3004 ChristG5547?” 18For he knewG3609 that it was becauseG1223 of envyG5355 that 4they had handedG3860 Him overG3860.

19And 5while he was sittingG2521 on the judgmentG968 seatG968, his wifeG1135 sentG649 him a message, sayingG3004, “See that you have nothingG3367 to do with that 6righteousG1342 ManG1342; for 7lastG4594 nightG4594 I sufferedG3958 greatlyG4183 8in a dreamG3677 becauseG1223 of Him.” 20But the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the eldersG4245 persuadedG3982 the crowdsG3793 to 9askG154 for BarabbasG912, and to putG622 JesusG2424 toG622 deathG622. 21And the governorG2232 10saidG3004 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 11who is calledG3004 ChristG5547?” They allG3956 saidG3004, “12CrucifyG4717 Him!” 23But he saidG5346, “WhyG1063, whatG5101 evilG2556 has He doneG4160?” Yet they kept shoutingG2896 allG4057 theG4057 moreG4057, sayingG3004, “13CrucifyG4717 Him!”
