1. AND straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council, binding Jesus, led him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
2. And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it.
3. And the chief priests accused him in many things.
4. And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? behold in how many things they accuse thee.
5. But Jesus still answered nothing; so that Pilate wondered.
6. Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded.
