Luke 23:1-5

Jesus Before Pilate

1 ¹Then the whole company of them arose and brought him before Pilate.

2 And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man ²misleading our nation and ³forbidding us to give tribute to ⁴Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, ⁵a king."

3 ⁶And Pilate asked him, ⁷"Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, ⁸"You have said so."

4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, ⁹"I find no guilt in this man.

5 But they were urgent, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, ¹⁰from Galilee even to this place."
