Matthew 27:11-26 · BSB

¹⁰and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

¹¹Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

¹²And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

¹³Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

¹⁴But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

¹⁵Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

¹⁶At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

¹⁷So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

¹⁸For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

¹⁹While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.”

²⁰But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

²¹“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

²²“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

²³“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

²⁴When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood, ” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

²⁵All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

²⁶So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

²⁷Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

King James Version +

¹⁰And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.

¹¹And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

¹²And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

¹⁴And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

¹⁵Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

¹⁶And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁷Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

¹⁸For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

¹⁹When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

²⁰But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²¹The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

²²Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

²³And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

²⁴When 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 ye to it.

²⁵Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

²⁶Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

²⁷Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
