web - Matthew:27:11-26

web@Matthew:27:11 @ Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "So you say."

web@Matthew:27:12 @ When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

web@Matthew:27:13 @ Then Pilate said to him, "Don't you hear how many things they testify against you?"

web@Matthew:27:14 @ He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

web@Matthew:27:15 @ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.

web@Matthew:27:16 @ They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

web@Matthew:27:17 @ When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?"

web@Matthew:27:18 @ For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

web@Matthew:27:19 @ While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."

web@Matthew:27:20 @ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

web@Matthew:27:21 @ But the governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas!"

web@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let him be crucified!"

web@Matthew:27:23 @ But the governor said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they cried out exceedingly, saying, "Let him be crucified!"

web@Matthew:27:24 @ So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it."

web@Matthew:27:25 @ All the people answered, "May his blood be on us, and on our children!"

web@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
