7. And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
8. Wherefore that field has been called, The field of blood, to this day.
9. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
10. And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
11. And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou sayest.
12. And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13. Then saith Pilate to him, Hearest thou not how many things they testify against thee?
14. And he answered him to not a word; so that the governor marveled greatly.
15. Now at that feast, the governor was wont to release to the people a prisoner, whom they would.
16. And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17. Therefore when they were assembled, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?
18. (For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.)
19. When he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream, because of him.
20. But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21. The governor answered and said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release to you? They said, Barabbas.
22. Pilate saith to them, What shall I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.
23. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
