Pontius

And they brought him bound and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Then Pilate saith to him: Dost not thou hear how great testimonies they allege against thee?

They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said: Whom will you that I release to You: Barabbas, or Jesus that is called Christ?

Pilate saith to them: What shall I do then with Jesus that is called Christ? They say all: Let him be crucified.

And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man. Look you to it.

He went to Pilate and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered.

And the next day, which followed the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,

Pilate saith to them: You have a guard. Go, guard it as you know.

And straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council, binding Jesus, led him away and delivered him to Pilate.

And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it.

And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? Behold in how many things they accuse thee.

But Jesus still answered nothing: so that Pilate wondered.

And Pilate answered them and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews?

And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews?

And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him.

And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas: and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

Joseph of Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.

But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead.

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina:

And there were present, at that very time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And the whole multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.

And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, said: Thou sayest it.

And Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no cause in this man.

But Pilate hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee?

And Herod with his army set him at nought and mocked him, putting on him a white garment: and sent him back to Pilate.
