Matthew:27:11-26
mkjv@Matthew:27:11 @ And Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, Are you the king of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say [it].
mkjv@Matthew:27:12 @ And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.
mkjv@Matthew:27:13 @ Then Pilate said to Him, Do you not hear how many things they witness against you?
mkjv@Matthew:27:14 @ And He did not answer him a word, so that the governor greatly marveled.
mkjv@Matthew:27:15 @ Now at [that] feast the governor was accustomed to release to the people a prisoner, whomever they desired.
mkjv@Matthew:27:16 @ And they then had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
mkjv@Matthew:27:17 @ Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do you desire that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus [who is] called Christ?
mkjv@Matthew:27:18 @ For he knew they had delivered Him because of envy.
mkjv@Matthew:27:19 @ But as he was sitting down on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that just man, for today because of Him I have suffered many things in a dream.
mkjv@Matthew:27:20 @ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd that they should ask [for] Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
mkjv@Matthew:27:21 @ The governor answered and said to them, Which of the two do you desire that I release [to] you? They said, Barabbas.
mkjv@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.
mkjv@Matthew:27:23 @ And the governor said, Why? What evil has He done? But they cried out the more, saying, let Him be crucified!
mkjv@Matthew:27:24 @ But when Pilate saw that it gained nothing, but rather [that] a tumult was made, he took water and washed [his] hands before the crowd, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person. You see to it.
mkjv@Matthew:27:25 @ Then all the people answered and said, Let His blood [be] on us and on our children.
mkjv@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released Barabbas to them. And when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered [Him] to be crucified.
