And straightway 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 And Pilat axide hym, Art thou kynge of Jewis? And Jhesus answeride, and seide to hym, Thou seist.
And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest [it].
3 And the hieste prestis accusiden hym in many thingis.
And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
4 But Pilat eftsoone axide hym, and seide, Answerist thou no thing? Seest thou in hou many thingis thei accusen thee?
And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
5 But Jhesus answeride no more, so that Pilat wondride.
But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
6 But bi the feeste dai he was wont to leeue to hem oon of men boundun, whom euer thei axiden.

9 And Pilat answeride `to hem, and seide, Wolen ye Y leeue to you the kyng of Jewis?
But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

14 But Pilat seide to hem, What yuel hath he don? And thei crieden the more, Crucifie hym.
Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
