And immediately in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
2 Pilate, asking him, said, You are the king of the Jews? He answered, You say right.
And Pilate asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, You say it.
3 Now the chief priests accused him of many things.
And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
4 Again Pilate asked him, saying, Do you answer nothing? Observe how many crimes they arraign you for.

5 But Jesus answered no more, insomuch that Pilate was astonished.
But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
6 Now, at the festival, he always released to them any one prisoner, whom they desired.
Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
7 And there was one Barabbas, that had been imprisoned with his seditious associates, who in their sedition had committed murder.
And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 And, with clamor, the multitude demanded of Pilate, what he used to grant them.
And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
9 He answered them, saying, Shall I release to you the king of the Jews?
But Pilate answered them, saying, Will all of you that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
10 (For he knew that through envy, the chief priests had delivered him up.)
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
11 But the chief priests incited the multitude to insist on the release of Barabbas, in preference to Jesus.
But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
12 Pilate again interposed, saying, What then would you have me do with him whom you call king of the Jews?
And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will all of you then that I shall do unto him whom all of you call the King of the Jews?
13 They cried, Crucify him.
And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14 Pilate asked them, Why? What evil has he done? But they cried the more vehemently, Crucify him.
Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil has he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15 Then Pilate, desirous to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and having caused Jesus to be scourged, delivered him up to be crucified.
And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
