and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.

Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.

So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; see ye to it.

this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up.

Now on the morrow, which is the day after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,

Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go, make it as sure as ye can.

And straightway 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.

And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of.

But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marvelled.

And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

there came Joseph of Arimathæa, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate.

And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest.

And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man.

But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan.

And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.
