Mark 15:1-5

Jesus Taken to Pilate

1 And as soon as morning [came], [after] formulating a plan, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin, tied up Jesus, led [him] away, and handed [him] over to Pilate.

2 And Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" And he answered him [and] said, "You say [so]."

3 And the chief priests began to accuse him [of] many [things].

4 So Pilate asked him again, saying, "Do you not answer anything? See how many [charges] they are bringing against you!"

5 But Jesus did not answer anything further, so that Pilate was astonished.
