Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? 18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. 19 When he sat down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have nothing to do with that just man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him. 20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two do you want me to release unto you? They said, Barabbas. 22 Pilate said unto them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all said unto him, Let him be crucified. 23 And the governor said, Why, what evil has he done?
