Matthew 27:16-18

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶ At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.^{[a] 17} So when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Who is it you want me to release for you—Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” ^{(A) 18} For he knew it was because of envy that they had handed him over.
