New King James Version

Matthew 27:13-18 New King James Version (NKJV)

13. Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?”

14. But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

15. Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished.

16. And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.

17. Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

18. For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy.
