Matthew 27:12-16

And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not offer any answer.

Then Pilate *said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they are testifying against You?”

And still He did not answer him in regard to even a single charge, so the governor was greatly amazed.

Now at the Passover Feast the governor was accustomed to release for the people any one prisoner whom they wanted.

And at that time they were holding a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
