emtv@Matthew:27:17 @ Therefore when they had assembled, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you wish [that] I should release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"

emtv@Matthew:27:18 @ For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy.

emtv@Matthew:27:19 @ Now as he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him."

emtv@Matthew:27:21 @ The governor answered and said to them, "Which of the two do you wish me to release to you?"They said, "Barabbas!"

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