Matthew 27:16

14He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

15Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.

16They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.

17When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

18For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
