1 And immediately in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
2 And Pilate asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him,
3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answer you nothing? behold how many things they witness against you.
5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marveled.
6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, who lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
