Jesus Before Pilate

11

And Iesus stood before ye gouernour, and the gouernour asked him, saying, Art thou that King of the Iewes? Iesus said vnto him, Thou sayest it.

12

And when he was accused of the chiefe Priestes, and Elders, he answered nothing.

13

Then saide Pilate vnto him, Hearest thou not howe many things they lay against thee?

14

But he answered him not to one worde, in so much that the gouernour marueiled greatly.

15

Nowe at the feast, the gouernour was wont to deliuer vnto the people a prisoner whom they would.

16

And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

17

When they were then gathered together, Pilate said vnto the, Whether will ye that I let loose vnto you Barabbas, or Iesus which is called Christ?

18

(For he knewe well, that for enuie they had deliuered him.

19

Also when he was set downe vpon the iudgement seate, his wife sent to him, saying, Haue thou nothing to do with that iust man: for I haue suffered many things this day in a dreame by reason of him.)

20

But the chiefe Priestes and the Elders had persuaded the people that they shoulde aske Barabbas, and should destroy Iesus.

21

Then the gouernour answered, and said vnto them, Whether of the twaine will ye that I let loose vnto you? And they said, Barabbas.

22

Pilate said vnto them, What shall I do then with Iesus, which is called Christ? They all said to him, Let him be crucified.

23

Then saide the gouernour, But what euill hath he done? Then they cryed the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

24

When Pilate saw that he auailed nothing, but that more tumult was made, he tooke water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this iust man: looke you to it.

25

Then answered all the people, and saide, His bloud be on vs, and on our children.
