Luke 23:1-9 ▼

1 And the whole number of them arose, and led him away to Pilate.

2 And they began to accuse him, saying: We found this man turning the people away, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

3 And Pilate asked him, saying: Are you the king of the Jews? He answered and said to him: You say it.

4 Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no fault in this man.

5 But they became the more urgent, and said: He excites the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea, be ginning from Galilee to this place.

6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7 And when he learned that he belonged to the dominion of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was at that time in Jerusalem.

8 When Herod saw Jesus, he rejoiced greatly; for he had, for a long time, desired to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign done by him.

9 And he questioned him concerning many things; but he made him no answer.
