Matthew 27:18-20

New International Version - UK

¹⁸ For he knew it was out of self-interest that they had handed Jesus over to him.

¹⁹ While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message: ‘Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.’

²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.
