17 Therefore, having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, 'Who is it that you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?'
18 For he knew that it was out of envy they had handed him over.
19 But as he was sitting in the place for the tribunal, his wife sent to him, saying: 'It is nothing to you, and he is just. For I have experienced many things today through a vision for his sake.'
20 But the leaders of the priests and the elders persuaded the people, so that they would ask for Barabbas, and so that Jesus would perish.
21 Then, in response, the procurator said to them, 'Which of the two do you want to be released to you?' But they said to him, 'Barabbas.'
