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.
