Matthew 27:13-17

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.

So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
