Luke 23:1-6

Jesus before Pilate

1 Then the whole body of them got up and ¹brought Him before Pilate.

2 ²And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this man ³misleading our nation and ⁴forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ, a King."

3 So Pilate asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him and said, "⁵It is as you say."

4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "⁶I find no guilt in this man.

5 But they kept on insisting, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching all over Judea, ⁷starting from Galilee even as far as this place."

6 When Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.
