1 Then the whole group of them rose up and brought Jesus before Pilate. 2 They began to accuse him, saying, |We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding us to pay the tribute tax to Caesar and claiming that he himself is Christ, a king.| 3 So Pilate asked Jesus, |Are you the king of the Jews?| He replied, |You say so.| 4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, |I find no basis for an accusation against this man.| 5 But they persisted in saying, |He incites the people by teaching throughout all Judea. It started in Galilee and ended up here!| 6 Now when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. 7 When he learned that he was from Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who also happened to be in Jerusalem at that time.
