40:027:010 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me. 40:027:011 And 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. 40:027:012 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 40:027:013 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 40:027:014 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. 40:027:015 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. 40:027:016 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 40:027:017 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? 40:027:018 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. 40:027:019 When 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. 40:027:020 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 40:027:021 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. 40:027:022 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. 40:027:023 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. 40:027:024 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 ye to it. 40:027:025 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. 40:027:026 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. 40:027:027 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. 40:027:028 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 40:027:029 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon 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! 40:027:030 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. 40:027:031 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.
