When therefore they were gathered together Pilate said to them , "
Whom do you want me to release for you ,
Bar-Abba or Yehoshua who is called Rebbe ,
Melech HaMoshiach ?"
*
For Pilate knew that because of kin '
ah (
note :)
envy (:
note )
they had delivered Yehoshua up .
*
And while Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat ,
his wife sent to him ,
saying , "
Have nothing to do with that Tzaddik ;
for last night I suffered greatly in a cholom (
note :)
dream (:
note )
because of Yehoshua ."
*
However ,
the Rashei Hakohanim and the Zekenim persuaded the multitudes to ask for Bar-Abba ,
but Yehoshua they should destroy .
*
But the Governor answered ,
saying to them , "
Which of the two do you want me to release for you ?"
and they said , "
Bar-Abba ."
*
In reply ,
Pilate says to them , "
What ,
therefore ,
may I do with Yehoshua ,
the one called the Rebbe ,
Melech HaMoshiach ?"
Everyone says , "
Let him be hanged on HaAitz (

Let him be hanged on HaAitz !"
*
But Pilate said , "
Why ?
What ra '
ah (
note :)
evil (:
note )
has he done ?"
But they kept shouting all the more ,
saying , "
Let him be hanged on HaAitz !"
*
And when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing ,
but rather that a riot was starting ,
he took water and washed his hands in front of the multitude ,
saying , "
I am innocent of this man '
s blood ;
see to that yourselves ."
*
And ,
in reply ,
all the people said , "
His dahm be on us and on our yeladim ." *
*
Then Pilate released Bar-Abba to them .
But after having Rebbe ,
Melech HaMoshiach scourged ,
he handed him over to be hanged on HaAitz .
