Matthew 27:18-20

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ Pilate knew that they gave Jesus to him because they were jealous.

¹⁹ Pilate said these things while he was sitting on the judge’s seat. While he was sitting there, his wife sent a message to him. The message said, “Don’t do anything to that man. He is not guilty. Today I had a dream about him, and it troubled me very much.”

²⁰ But the leading priests and elders told the crowd to ask for Barabbas to be freed and for Jesus to be killed.
