Matthew 27:18-20

New Matthew Bible

¹⁸ For he knew well that it was for envy they had delivered him.

¹⁹ When he was seated to give judgment, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that just man. For I have suffered many things this day in a dream about him. ²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders had persuaded the people that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
