15aNow at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the 1people any one prisoner whom they wanted.
16At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.
17So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus awho is called Christ?”
18For he knew that because of envy they had handed Him over.
19aWhile he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, “Have nothing to do with that brighteous Man; for 1last night I suffered greatly cin a dream because of Him.”
20But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to aask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death.
21But the governor 1said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.”
22Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus awho is called Christ?” They all said, “1Crucify Him!”
23And he said, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they kept shouting all the more, saying, “1Crucify Him!”
24When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that aa riot was starting, he took water and bwashed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of cthis Man’s blood; dsee to that yourselves.”
25And all the people said, “aHis blood shall be on us and on our children!”
26Then he released Barabbas 1for them; but after having Jesus ascourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
Jesus Is Mocked
27aThen the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into bthe 1Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman 2ccohort around Him.
28They stripped Him and aput a scarlet robe on Him.
29aAnd after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a 1reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, “bHail, King of the Jews!”
30aThey spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head.
31aAfter they had mocked Him, they took the scarlet robe off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
