dby@Matthew:27:18 @ For he knew that they had delivered him up through envy.
dby@Matthew:27:19 @ But, as he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous [man]; for I have suffered to-day many things in a dream because of him.
dby@Matthew:27:20 @ But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should beg for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
dby@Matthew:27:21 @ And the governor answering said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.
dby@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.
dby@Matthew:27:23 @ And the governor said, What evil then has he done? But they cried more than ever, saying, Let him be crucified.

dby@Matthew:27:25 @ And all the people answering said, His blood [be] on us and on our children.
dby@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released to them Barabbas; but Jesus, having scourged [him], he delivered up that he might be crucified.
