Matthew 27:10–18
10and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”↗
11Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him,“So you say.”↗
12When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.↗
13Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”↗
14He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.↗
15Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.↗
16They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.↗
17When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”↗
18For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.↗
