1
And immediately in the morning the chief priests, having taken counsel with the elders and scribes and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] up to Pilate.
2
And Pilate asked him, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, *Thou* sayest.
3
And the chief priests accused him urgently.
4
And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? See of how many things they bear witness against thee.
5
But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.
6
But at [the] feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged [of him].
7
Now there was the [person] named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with [him], [and] that had committed murder in the insurrection.
8
And the crowd crying out began to beg [that he would do] to them as he had always done.
9
But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?
10
for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy.
