Matthew 27:11-18

11Now Yeshua stood before the governor. The governor questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You say so,” Yeshua said.

12And while He was accused by the ruling kohanim and elders, He did not answer.

13Then Pilate said to Him, “Don’t You hear how many things they testify against you?”

14Yeshua did not answer, not even one word, so the governor was greatly amazed.

15Now during the feast, the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner, anyone they wanted.

16At that time they had a notorious prisoner, called Yeshua Bar-Abba.

17So when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Which one do you want me to release for you? Yeshua who is Bar-Abba, or Yeshua who is called Messiah?”

18For he knew that they had handed Him over out of envy.
