27 ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΘΘΑΙΟΝ Matthew Reference
Κατὰ δὲ ἑορτὴν εἰώθει ὁ ἡγεμὼν ἀπολύειν ἑνα τῷ ὀχλῳ δέσμιον ὃν ἠθελον. Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted.Jesus Sentenced to Die Mt.27.15-26 | Mk.15.6-15 | Lk.23.13-25 | Jn.18.39-19.16
εἶχον δὲ τότε δέσμιον ἐπίσημον λεγόμενον [Ἰησοῦν] Βαραββᾶν. And they had then a notorious prisoner, called [Jesus] Barab'bas. 
συνηγμένων οὖν αὐτῶν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος, Τίνα θέλετε ἀπολύσω ὑμῖν, [Ἰησοῦν τὸν] Βαραββᾶν ἢ Ἰησοῦν τὸν λεγόμενον Χριστόν; So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, [Jesus] Barab'bas or Jesus who is called Christ?" 
ᾐδει γὰρ ὅτι διὰ φθόνον παρέδωκαν αὐτόν. For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up. 
Καθημένου δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ λέγουσα, Μηδὲν σοὶ καὶ τῷ δικαίῳ ἐκείνῳ, πολλὰ γὰρ ἐπαθον σήμερον κατ' ὀναρ δῖ αὐτόν. Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much over him today in a dream." 
Οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἐπεισαν τοὺς ὀχλους ἵνα αἰτήσωνται τὸν Βαραββᾶν τὸν δὲ Ἰησοῦν ἀπολέσωσιν. Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the people to ask for Barab'bas and destroy Jesus. 
ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἡγεμὼν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Τίνα θέλετε ἀπὸ τῶν δύο ἀπολύσω ὑμῖν; οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, Τὸν Βαραββᾶν. The governor again said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barab'bas." 
λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος, Τί οὖν ποιήσω Ἰησοῦν τὸν λεγόμενον Χριστόν; λέγουσιν πάντες, Σταυρωθήτω. Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified." 
ὁ δὲ ἐφη, Τί γὰρ κακὸν ἐποίησεν; οἱ δὲ περισσῶς ἐκραζον λέγοντες, ΣΤΑΥΡΩΘΗΤΩ. And he said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "LET HIM BE CRUCIFIED." 
ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Πιλᾶτος ὅτι οὐδὲν ὠφελεῖ ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον θόρυβος γίνεται, λαβὼν ὑδωρ ἀπενίψατο τὰς χεῖρας ἀπέναντι τοῦ ὀχλου, λέγων, Ἀθῷός εἰμι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἱματος τούτου· ὑμει 'ς ὀψεσθε. So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves." 
καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἶπεν, Τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐφ' ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα ἡμῶν. And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!" 
τότε ἀπέλυσεν αὐτοῖς τὸν Βαραββᾶν, τὸν δὲ Ἰησοῦν φραγελλώσας παρέδωκεν ἵνα σταυρωθῇ. Then he released for them Barab'bas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.
