*
And Jesus stood before the governor ,
and the governor asked him ,
saying ,
Art thou the King of the Jews ?
And Jesus said unto him ,
Thou sayest .
*
And being accused by the princes of the priests and the elders ,
he answered nothing .
*
Then Pilate said unto him ,
Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee ?
*
And he did not answer him even a word ;
insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly .
*
Now at [
that ]
feast the governor was accustomed to release unto the people a prisoner ,
whoever they desired .
*
And they had then a notable prisoner ,
called Barabbas .
*
Therefore when they were gathered together ,
Pilate said unto them ,
Whom desire ye that I release unto you ?
Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ ?
*
For he knew that for envy they had delivered him .
*
When he was seated upon the judgement seat ,
his wife sent unto him ,
saying ,
Have thou nothing to do with that just man ,
for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him .
*
But the princes of the priests and the elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus .
*
The governor answered and said unto them ,
Which of the two desire ye that I release unto you ?
They said ,
Barabbas .
*
Pilate said unto them ,
What shall I do then with Jesus who is called Christ ? [
They ]
all say unto him ,
Let him be crucified .
*
And the governor said ,
Why ,
what evil has he done ?
But they cried out the more ,
saying ,
Let him be crucified .
*
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing ,
but [
that ]
rather a tumult was made ,
he took water and washed [
his ]
hands before the multitude ,
saying ,
I am innocent of the blood of this just person ;
see ye [
to it ].
*
Then all the people answered and said ,
His blood [
be ]
on us and on our children .
*
Then he released Barabbas unto them ;
and when he had scourged Jesus ,
he delivered [
him ]
to be crucified .
