Matthew 27:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ And at that time they had a notorious prisoner whose name was Barabbas.

¹⁷ So when they had assembled for this purpose, Pilate said to them, Whom do you want me to set free for you, Barabbas, or Jesus Who is called Christ?

¹⁸ For he knew that it was because of envy that they had handed Him over to him.
