Matthew:27:11-19

*
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 .
*
And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders ,
he answered nothing .
*
Then said Pilate unto him ,
Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee ?
*
And he answered him to never a word ;
insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly .
*
Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner ,
whom they would .
*
And they had then a notable prisoner ,
called Barabbas .
*
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 ?
*
For he knew that for envy they had delivered him .
*
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 .
