14 But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

Taking the Place of Barabbas

15 aNow at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished.  
16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called1 Barabbas.  
17 Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
18 For he knew that they had handed Him over because of aenvy.  
19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.”
20 aBut the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.  
21 The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, a“Barabbas!”  
22 Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”
23 Then the governor said, a“Why, what evil has He done?” But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”  
24 When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a1 tumult was rising, he atook water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this2 just Person. You see to it.”  
25 And all the people answered and said, a“His blood be on us and on our children.”
