Matthew 27:19-27
-
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.
-
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
-
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
-
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
-
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
-
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
