Mattityahu 27:16-18

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁶ And they were holding at the time a notorious prisoner, called [Yeshua] Bar-Abba [son of the father].

¹⁷ When, therefore, they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do you want me to release for you, Bar Abba or Yehoshua called Moshiach?

¹⁸ For Pilate knew that because of kinah (envy) they had delivered Yehoshua up.
