14And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
15Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.
16And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?
18For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up.
19And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
20Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
