Matthew 27:22

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

So when they met for this purpose, Pilate asked them, "Which one do you want me to set free, Barabbas, or Jesus, the so-called Christ?"

The high priests and the whole council were trying to get evidence against Jesus to put Him to death, but they could find none,

Then Pilate again said to them, "What then do you want me to do to the man whom you call king of the Jews?"

Then Pilate again appealed to them, for He wanted to let Jesus go.

It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and it was about noon. Then Pilate said to the Jews, "There is your king!"

So, my brothers, you must understand that through Him the forgiveness of your sins is now proclaimed to you,

Then Pilate called a meeting of the high priests, the leaders of the council, and the people,

and although they could not find Him guilty of a capital offense, they begged Pilate to have Him put to death.
