Matthew 27:1-26 : American Standard Version

1Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 2and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.
3Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it. 5And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. 6And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood. 7And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8Wherefore that field was called, the field of blood, unto this day. 9Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom certain of the children of Israel did price; 10and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
11Now Jesus stood before the
governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of
the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. 12And
when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered
nothing. 13Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not
how many things they witness against thee? 14And he gave
him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor
marvelled greatly. 15Now at the feast the governor was
wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.
16And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate
said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or
Jesus who is called Christ? 18For he knew that for envy
they had delivered him up. 19And while he was sitting on
the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing
to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered many things this
day in a dream because of him. 20Now the chief priests
and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for
Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 21But the governor answered
and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto
you? And they said, Barabbas. 22Pilate saith unto them,
What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? They all say,
Let him be crucified. 23And he said, Why, what evil hath
he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be
crucified. 24So when Pilate saw that he prevailed
nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and
washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the
blood of this righteous man; see ye to it. 25And all the
people answered and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26Then released he unto them Barabbas; but Jesus he
scourged and delivered to be crucified.
