And straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council, binding Jesus, led him away and delivered him to Pilate.
2
And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it.
3
And the chief priests accused him in many things.
4
And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? Behold in how many things they accuse thee.
5
But Jesus still answered nothing: so that Pilate wondered.

Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded.
