Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.
1
And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered [him] to Pilate;
2 “Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate. “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
2
and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?' and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say [it].'
3 The chief priests accused him of many things.
3
And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, [but he answered nothing.]
4 So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”
4
And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!'
5 But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.
5
and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.

8
And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,
9 “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate,
9
and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye [that] I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'
10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.
10
for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.
11
and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.
12
And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye [that] I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?'
13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.
13
and they again cried out, `Crucify him.'
14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
14
And Pilate said to them, `Why -- what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;'
15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
15
and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged [him] -- that he might be crucified.

18
and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.'

20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

30 come down from the cross and save yourself !”
30
save thyself, and come down from the cross!'
31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself!
31
And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.

Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.
44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died.
44
