Matthew 27:10-22
-
10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
-
11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
-
12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
-
13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
-
14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
-
15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
-
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
-
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
-
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
-
19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto 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.
-
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
-
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
-
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
