Matthew 27:14

Humility

12 And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

13 Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

15 Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

16 At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.
