and having bound him, they did lead away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

then saith Pilate to him, `Dost thou not hear how many things they witness against thee?'

they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, `Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?'

Pilate saith to them, `What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, `Let be crucified!'

And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, `I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye--ye shall see;'

he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back.

And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate,

And Pilate said to them, `Ye have a watch, go away, make secure--as ye have known;'

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;

And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate,

And Pilate questioned him, saying, `Thou art the king of the Jews?' and he answering him, said, `Thou dost say it .'

And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, `I find no fault in this man;'

And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,
