Matthew:27:11-26
rotherham@Matthew:27:11 @ Now, Jesus, stood before the governor; and the governor questioned him, saying Thou, art the king of the Jews? And, Jesus, said Thou, sayest.
rotherham@Matthew:27:12 @ And, while he was being accused by the High-priests and Elders, he answered nothing.
rotherham@Matthew:27:13 @ Then, Pilate saith unto him Hearest thou not how many things against thee they are bearing witness?
rotherham@Matthew:27:14 @ And he answered him, no not so much as a single word, so that the governor was marvelling exceedingly.
rotherham@Matthew:27:15 @ But, feast by feast, the governor had been wont to release one unto the multitude, a prisoner whom they were desiring.
rotherham@Matthew:27:16 @ Now they had at that time a distinguished prisoner, called, Barabbas.
rotherham@Matthew:27:17 @ They therefore having come together, Pilate, said to them Whom will ye I should release unto you? Barabbas? or Jesus, who is called Christ?
rotherham@Matthew:27:18 @ For he knew that, for envy, they had delivered him up.
rotherham@Matthew:27:19 @ And, as he was sitting upon the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man, for, many things, have I suffered this day, by dream, because of him.
rotherham@Matthew:27:20 @ But, the High-priests and the elders, persuaded the multitudes, that they should claim Barabbas, but, Jesus, should, destroy.
rotherham@Matthew:27:21 @ Now the governor, answering, said unto them Which of the two desire ye I should release unto you? And they said Barabbas!
rotherham@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate saith unto them What then shall I do unto Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say Let him be crucified!
rotherham@Matthew:27:23 @ But, he, said Indeed! what evil hath he done? But, they, vehemently, were crying aloud, saying Let him be crucified!
rotherham@Matthew:27:24 @ And Pilate, seeing, that, nothing, it availed, but rather, a tumult, was arising, taking water, washed his hands of it before the multitude, saying Innocent, am I, of the blood of this man, Ye, shall see to it for yourselves.
rotherham@Matthew:27:25 @ And all the people, answering, said His blood be upon us and upon our children!
rotherham@Matthew:27:26 @ Then released he unto them Barabbas, but, scourging, Jesus, delivered him up, that he might be crucified.
