1
And forthwith in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] to Pilate.
2
And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering, said to him, Thou sayest [it].
3
And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
4
And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they testify against thee.
5
But Jesus yet answered nothing: so that Pilate marveled.
6
Now at [that] feast he released to them one prisoner, whom they desired.
7
And there was [one] named Barabbas, [who lay] bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8
And the multitude crying aloud, began to desire [him to do] as he had ever done to them.
9
But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?
