Matthew 27:20-26

20But the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the eldersG4245 persuadedG3982 the crowdsG3793 to 1askG154 for BarabbasG912, and to putG622 JesusG2424 toG622 deathG622. 21And the governorG2232 2saidG3004 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 3who is calledG3004 ChristG5547?” They allG3956 saidG3004, “4CrucifyG4717 Him!” 23But he saidG5346, “WhyG1063, whatG5101 evilG2556 has He doneG4160?” Yet they kept shoutingG2896 allG4057 theG4057 moreG4057, sayingG3004, “5CrucifyG4717 Him!”

24NowG1161 when PilateG4091 sawG3708 that he was accomplishingG5623 nothingG3762, but ratherG3123 that 6a riotG2351 was startingG1096, he tookG2983 waterG5204 and 7washedG633 his handsG5495 inG2713 frontG2713 ofG2713 the crowdG3793, sayingG3004, “I amG1510 innocentG121 of 8thisG3778 Man’sG3778 bloodG129; 9you yourselvesG4771 shall seeG3708.” 25And allG3956 the peopleG2992 repliedG611G3004, “10His bloodG129 shall be on us and on our childrenG5043!” 26ThenG5119 he releasedG630 BarabbasG912 11for them; but after having JesusG2424 12floggedG5417, he handedG3860 Him overG3860 to be crucifiedG4717.
