Matthew 27:19 ASV

¹⁷  When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

¹⁸  For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁹  And 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.

²⁰  Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²¹  But the governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.
