1 And quickly the chief priests having made counsel with the more ancient and scribes and the whole council, having bound Jesus, led away, and delivered to Pilate. 2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And having answered, he said to him, Thou sayest. 3 And the chief priests accused him much. 4 And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how much they accuse thee. 5 And Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate wondered. 6 And at the festival he loosed to them one in bonds, whomsoever they asked. 7 And there was he called Barabbas, bound with those exciting sedition, who did murder in the revolt. 8 And the crowd having cried, began to ask as he did always to them. 9 And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye I loose to you the King of the Jews? 10 For he knew that through envy the chief priests had delivered him up: 11 And the chief priests moved the crowd, that he would rather loose Barabbas to them. 12 And Pilate having answered, again said to them, What then will ye I should do to him whom ye call King of the Jews?
