Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁹ While Pilate was sitting in the court to judge the case, his wife sent a message to him. She said, `Do nothing to that good man. I have been troubled very much in a dream about him today.'

²⁰ The chief priests and leaders talked to the people. They told them to ask Pilate to let Barabbas go free, but to kill Jesus.

²¹ The ruler said to the people, `Which of these two do you want me to let go free for you?' They said, `Barabbas.'
