Luke 23:1-9 ▼

1 And having risen up, all the multitude of them led Him to Pilate.

2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding taxes to be given to Caesar, and declaring Himself to be Christ, a King.”

3 And Pilate questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And answering him, He was saying, “You say.”

4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this man.”

5 But they kept insisting, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all of Judea, and He has begun from Galilee even to here.”

6 And Pilate, having heard, asked whether the man is a Galilean.

7 And having learned that He is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent Him up to Herod, he himself being also in Jerusalem in those days.

8 And Herod, having seen Jesus, was exceedingly glad; for of a long time he is wanting to see Him, because of hearing concerning Him; and he was hoping to see some sign done by Him.

9 And he kept questioning Him in many words, but He answered him nothing.
