New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
1 Then the entire council took Jesus to Pilate, the Roman governor.
1
Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate.
2 They began to state their case: “This man has been leading our people astray by telling them not to pay their taxes to the Roman government and by claiming he is the Messiah, a king.”
2
And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be Messiah, a king.”
3 So Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” Jesus replied, “You have said it.”
3
So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
4 Pilate turned to the leading priests and to the crowd and said, “I find nothing wrong with this man!”
4
Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
5 Then they became insistent. “But he is causing riots by his teaching wherever he goes—all over Judea, from Galilee to Jerusalem!”
5
But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.”
6 “Oh, is he a Galilean?” Pilate asked.
6
On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean.
