1
Then the entire council took Jesus over to Pilate, the Roman governor.
2
They began at once to state their case: "This man has been leading our people to ruin by telling them not to pay their taxes to the Roman government and by claiming he is the Messiah, a king."
3
So Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"Jesus replied, "Yes, it is as you say."4
Pilate turned to the leading priests and to the crowd and said, "I find nothing wrong with this man!"
5
Then they became desperate. "But he is causing riots everywhere he goes, all over Judea, from Galilee to Jerusalem!"
6
"Oh, is he a Galilean?" Pilate asked.
