1 At length the whole assembly broke up, and Jesus was conducted to Pilate: 2 and thus they began their charge, we found this man subverting our nation, opposing the giving tribute to Cesar, asserting that he himself is Christ the king. 3 then Pilate ask'd him, art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus answer'd him, 'tis as you say. 4 at last Pilate said to the chief priests, and to the people, I don't find any crime in this man. 5 but they were the more vehement, saying, he promotes sedition by speading such doctrine thro' all Judea, from Galilee to this place. 6 when Pilate heard of Galilee, he ask'd whether the man were a Galilean. 7 and finding that he belong'd to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was then likewise at Jerusalem. 8 When Herod saw Jesus he was extremely pleased; for he had long desired to see him, having heard much of him, and hoped to see him perform some miracle. 9 he plyed him therefore with many interrogatories, 10 but Jesus made him no answer, tho' the chief priests and Scribes maintain'd their charge with vehemence.
