Matthew 27:18 DBY

¹⁶  And they had then a notable prisoner, named Barabbas.

¹⁷  They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

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

¹⁹  But, as he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous [man]; for I have suffered to-day many things in a dream because of him.

²⁰  But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should beg for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
