Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered, "So you say."

The chief priests accused him of many things.

Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!"

But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.

Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.

Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"
