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?

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.

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

And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
