10. and they gave them for the potter’s field,as the Lord commanded me.”
11. Now Yeshua stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?”Yeshua said to him, “So you say.”
12. When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13. Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
14. He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marvelled greatly.
15. Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.
16. They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17. When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Yeshua, who is called Messiah?”
18. For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
19. While he was sitting on the judgement seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”
20. Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Yeshua.
21. But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?”They said, “Barabbas!”
22. Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Yeshua, who is called Messiah?”They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”
23. But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?”But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
24. So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”
25. All the people answered, “May his blood be on us, and on our children!”
26. Then he released to them Barabbas, but Yeshua he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
