Matthew 27:19-23 
While Pilate was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent him this message: 'Don't have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.' But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed. 'Which of the two do you want me to release to you?' asked the governor. 'Barabbas,' they answered. 'What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?' Pilate asked. They all answered, 'Crucify him!' 'Why? What crime has he committed?' asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, 'Crucify him!' (NIVUK)

Pilate had been woken early to deal with potential public disorder (Matthew 27:1-2).  The Chief Priests took Jesus to the Roman Governor's palace accompanied by a mob calling for the Saviour’s death.  Pilate's attempt to offer to release one prisoner, as a Passover amnesty, was an attempt by the cowardly man to get Jesus released (Matthew 27:15-18).  Pilate thought that given the choice between Jesus Barabbas and Jesus of Nazareth, the crowd would vote for the Messiah.  But the pressure was against Pilate and against justice.
 

“I read W@W regularly (though not always on the same day). I have learned a great deal from the teaching. It is especially good because unlike most daily devotions W@W covers whole books of the Bible over a period and in some depth. It is a good reference for Bible study. In groups and for personal study. ”
