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.

21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
