* Therefore when they were gathered together (5772 ), Pilate said (5627 ) unto them , Whom will ye (5719 ) that I release (5661 ) unto you ? Barabbas , or Jesus which is called (5746 ) Christ ? * For he knew (5715 ) that for envy they had delivered (5656 ) him . * When he was set down (5740 ) on the judgment seat , his wife sent (5656 ) unto him , saying (5723 ), Have thou nothing to do with that just man : for I have suffered (5627 ) many things this day in a dream because of him . * But the chief priests and elders persuaded (5656 ) the multitude that they should ask (5672 ) Barabbas , and destroy (5661 ) Jesus . * The governor answered (5679 ) and said (5627 ) unto them , Whether of the twain will ye (5719 ) that I release (5661 ) unto you ? They said (5627 ), Barabbas . * Pilate saith (5719 ) unto them , What shall I do (5692 ) then with Jesus which is called (5746 ) Christ ? They all say (5719 ) unto him , Let him be crucified (5682 ). * And the governor said (5713 ), Why , what evil hath he done (5656 )? But they cried out (5707 ) the more , saying (5723 ), Let him be crucified (5682 ). * When Pilate saw (5631 ) that he could prevail (5719 ) nothing , but that rather a tumult was made (5736 ), he took (5631 ) water , and washed (5668 ) his hands before the multitude , saying (5723 ), I am (5748 ) innocent of the blood of this just person : see (5695 ) ye to it . * Then answered (5679 ) all the people , and said (5627 ), His blood be on us , and on our children .
