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.
