1 And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation with the elders, and scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin, having bound Jesus, led [Him] away, and delivered [Him] to Pilate;
As soon as it was early morning, having already formed a plan, the chief priests with the elders and scribes, indeed the whole council, bound Jesus, led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.
2 and Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answering said to him, “You say [it].”
Pilate asked Him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” So in answer He said to him, “You stated a fact!”
3 And the chief priests were accusing Him of many things, [but He answered nothing.]

9 and Pilate answered them, saying, “Will you [that] I will release to you the King of the Jews?”

10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up because of envy;

11 and the chief priests moved the multitude that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

12 And Pilate answering, again said to them, “What, then, will you [that] I will do to Him whom you call King of the Jews?”
Pilate answered and said to them again, “What then do you want me to do to him you call ‘king of the Jews’?”
13 And they again cried out, “Crucify Him!”
Again they shouted, “Crucify him!”
14 And Pilate said to them, “Why—what evil did He do?” And they cried out the more vehemently, “Crucify Him!”
But Pilate said to them, “But what evil did he do?” They just yelled all the louder, “Crucify him!”
15 And Pilate, resolving to do that which [was] satisfactory to the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and delivered up Jesus—having scourged [Him]—that He might be crucified.
So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and Jesus, after a flogging, he handed over to be crucified.
