GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New International Version NIV
1 Then the entire assembly stood up and took him to Pilate.
1
Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate.
2 They began to accuse Jesus by saying, "We found that he stirs up trouble among our people: He keeps them from paying taxes to the emperor, and he says that he is Christ, 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 Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" "Yes, I am," Jesus answered.
3
So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, "I can't find this man guilty of any crime."
4
Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
5 The priests and the crowd became more forceful. They said, "He stirs up the people throughout Judea with his teachings. He started in Galilee and has come here."
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 When Pilate heard that, he asked if the man was from Galilee.
6
On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean.
