Pilate, asking him, said, You are the king of the Jews? He answered, You say right.
3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire [him to do] as he had ever done unto them.
And, with clamor, the multitude demanded of Pilate, what he used to grant them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
He answered them, saying, Shall I release to you the king of the Jews?
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
(For he knew that through envy, the chief priests had delivered him up.)
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
But the chief priests incited the multitude to insist on the release of Barabbas, in preference to Jesus.
12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do [unto him] whom ye call the King of the Jews?
Pilate again interposed, saying, What then would you have me do with him whom you call king of the Jews?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
They cried, Crucify him.
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
Pilate asked them, Why? What evil has he done? But they cried the more vehemently, Crucify him.
15 And [so] Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged [him], to be crucified.
