10. and gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.”
11. Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”Jesus said to him, “You have said so.”
12. When He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.
13. Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?”
14. But He never answered him a word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
15. Now at the feast, the governor was accustomed to releasing to the people a prisoner whom they chose.
16. They had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17. So when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you—Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
18. For he knew that they had handed Him over out of envy.
19. When he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous Man, for I have suffered much today in a dream on account of Him.”
20. But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and kill Jesus.
21. The governor answered, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?”They said, “Barabbas.”
