13. Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?"
14. And He did not answer him with regard to even a single charge, so the governor was quite amazed.
15. Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the people any one prisoner whom they wanted.
16. At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.
17. So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"
18. For he knew that because of envy they had handed Him over.
19. While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him."
20. But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death.
