Matthew 27:17-22

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.

19While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, “Don’t have anything to do with that righteous Man, for today I’ve suffered many things in a dream because of Him.”

20Now the ruling kohanim and elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Bar-Abba and destroy Yeshua.

21But the governor responded, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Bar-Abba!”

22Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Yeshua, who is called Messiah?” “Execute Him!” all of them say.
