Thematic Bible




And Jesus stood before the leader: and the leader asked him, saying, Art thou King of the Jews? Jesus said to him, Thou sayest. And in the accusing him by the chief priests and the more ancient, he answered nothing. Then says Pilate to him, Hearest thou not what they witness against thee? read more.
And he answered him not to one word: so that the leader wondered greatly. And in the festival the leader was accustomed to loose one imprisoned to the crowd, which they desired. And they had then an imprisoned distinguished, called Barabbas. Therefore they assembled together, Pilate laid to them, Whom will ye I shall loose to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, called Christ? For he knew that through envy, they had delivered him, up. And he sitting upon the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Nothing to thee and that just one: for I have suffered this day many things in a dream, on his account. And the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. And the leader having answered, said to them, Which of the two will ye I shall loose to you? And they said, Barabbas. Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified., And the leader said, For what evil hath he done? and they cried excessively, saying, Let him be crucified. And Pilate, seeing that it profits nothing, but there is rather an uproar, having taken water, he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this just one: ye shall see yourselves. And all the people having answered, said, His blood upon us, and upon our children. Then he loosed to them Barabbas: and having scourged Jesus, delivered him up, that, he might be crucified.
