15 Now it was the custom of the governor to release to the crowd during the festival whichever prisoner they wanted.16 At that time a notorious prisoner was being held, a man named Barabbas.17 So Pilate asked the crowds that had gathered, “Who do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, called the Messiah?”18 (He had realized it was because of jealousy that they had handed Jesus over to him to be tried.)19 While he was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent a message to him that said, “Don't do anything to this innocent man, for I've suffered terribly today as a result of a dream about him.”
