8. For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
9. Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one whose price had been set by the sons of Israel;
10. and they gave them for the Potter's Field, as the Lord directed me."
11. Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him, "It is as you say."
12. And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer.
13. Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?"
14. And He did not answer him with regard to even a single charge, so the governor was quite amazed.
15. Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the people any one prisoner whom they wanted.
16. At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.
17. So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"
18. For he knew that because of envy they had handed Him over.
19. While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him."
20. But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death.
21. But the governor said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas."
