Matthew 27:19-21

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁹ While Pilate was judging the case, his wife sent him a message. It said, “Leave that innocent man alone. I’ve been very upset today because of a dream I had about him.”

²⁰ But the chief priests and leaders persuaded the crowd to ask for the release of Barabbas and the execution of Jesus.

²¹ The governor asked them, “Which of the two do you want me to free for you?”

They said, “Barabbas.”
