27:13. Then Pilate saith to him: Dost not thou hear how great testimonies they allege against thee?

27:15. Now upon the solemn day the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whom they would.

27:17. They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said: Whom will you that I release to You: Barabbas, or Jesus that is called Christ?
27:18. For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
27:19. And as he was sitting in the place of judgment, his wife sent to him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
27:20. But the chief priests and ancients persuaded the people that they should ask Barabbas and make Jesus away.
27:21. And the governor answering, said to them: Whether will you of the two to be released unto you? But they said: Barabbas.
