But he made no answer, not even to one charge; insomuch that the Governor was greatly astonished. Now it was the Governor's custom, during the Passover, to release to the people any one prisoner whom they selected. At that time they had a notorious prisoner named Barabbas. So when they had assembled, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?" He knew well that it was because of enmity that they had brought Jesus before him. And while he was seated upon the judgment-seat, his wife had sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered many things today, in a dream, because of him." But the chief priests and the elders urged the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to destroy Jesus. So when Pilate said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release unto you?" they said, "Barabbas." And Pilate asked, "What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" What one voice they shouted, "Let him be crucified!" But Pilate said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they kept shouting the more fiercely, "Let him be crucified!" So when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that on the contrary a riot was threatening, he took water and washed his hands in the presence of the crowd, saying. "I am innocent of the blood of this man; you must answer for it." All the people answered, "His blood be upon us and upon our children." Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he scourged, and delivered to be crucified.
