1And 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.
2And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest.
3And the chief priests accused him of many things.
4And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of.
5But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marvelled.
6Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.
7And there was one called Barabbas, [lying] bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
