Matthew:27:11-26
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Jesus stood before the governor .
And the governor questioned Him ,
saying ,
Are you the king of the Jews ?
And Jesus said to him ,
You say it .
*
And when He was accused by the chief priests and the elders ,
He answered nothing .
*
Then Pilate said to Him ,
Do you not hear how many things they testify against you ?
*
And He did not answer him ,
not even to one word ,
so that the governor greatly marveled .
*
And at a feast ,
the governor customarily released one prisoner to the crowd ,
whom they wished .
*
And they had then a notable prisoner named Barabbas .
*
Then they ,
having been assembled ,
Pilate said to them ,
Whom do you wish I may release to you ,
Barabbas ,
or Jesus called Christ ?
*
For he knew they delivered Him up through envy .
*
But as he was sitting on the judgment seat ,
his wife sent to him ,
saying ,
Let nothing be to you and that just one .
For I have suffered many things today by a dream because of him .
*
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds ,
that they should ask for Barabbas ,
and to destroy Jesus .
*
And answering ,
the governor said to them ,
From the two ,
which do you wish that I release to you ?
And they said ,
Barabbas .
*
Pilate said to them ,
What then should I do to Jesus called Christ ?
They all said to him ,
Let him be crucified .
*
But the governor said ,
For what wrong did he do ?
But they the more cried out ,
saying ,
Let him be crucified .
*
And seeing that nothing is gained ,
but rather an uproar occurs ,
taking water ,
Pilate washed his hands before the crowd ,
saying ,
I am innocent of the blood of this just one ;
you will see .
*
And answering ,
all the people said ,
His blood be on us and on our children .
*
Then he released Barabbas to them .
But having flogged Jesus ,
he delivered Him up that He might be crucified .
