Jesus Delivered to Pilate

1

And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered him to Pilate;

2

and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?' and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say it .'

3

And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, but he answered nothing.

4

And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!'

5

and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.

6

And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;

7

and there was one named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.

8

And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,

9

and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye that I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'

10

for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;

11

and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

12

And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye that I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?'

13

and they again cried out, `Crucify him.'

14

And Pilate said to them, `Why--what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;'

15

and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus--having scourged him --that he might be crucified.
