Matthew 27:20-22

New Century Version

²⁰ But the leading priests and elders convinced the crowd to ask for Barabbas to be freed and for Jesus to be killed.

²¹ Pilate said, “I have Barabbas and Jesus. Which do you want me to set free for you?”

The people answered, “Barabbas.”

²² Pilate asked, “So what should I do with Jesus, the one called the Christ?”

They all answered, “Crucify him!”
