And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say.And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.Then said Pilate to him, Hear you not how many things they witness against you?And he answered him to never a word; so that the governor marveled greatly.
The Crowd Chooses Barabbas
(Matthew 27:15-23)
Now at that feast the governor was wont to release to the people a prisoner, whom they would. And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have you nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.The governor answered and said to them, Whether of the two will you that I release to you? They said, Barabbas.Pilate said to them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.And the governor said, Why, what evil has he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
Pilate Washes his Hands
(Matthew 27:24-26)
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see you to it.Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Then released he Barabbas to them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
(Matthew 27:27-31)
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered to him the whole band of soldiers.And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!And they spit on him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
