Matthew 27:19-21

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁹ While he was sitting in court, his wife sent him a message, “Leave that innocent man alone. Today in a dream I suffered terribly because of him.” ²⁰ But the head cohanim persuaded the crowd to ask for Bar-Abba’s release and to have Yeshua executed on the stake. ²¹ “Which of the two do you want me to set free for you?” asked the governor. “Bar-Abba!” they answered.
