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.
