1And 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;
2and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?` and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say [it].`
3And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, [but he answered nothing.]
4And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!`
5and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.
6And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;
7and there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.
