Then the entire council took Jesus to Pilate, the Roman governor.
Then the entire council took Jesus to Pilate, the Roman governor.
And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
They began to state their case: “This man has been leading our people astray by telling them not to pay their taxes to the Roman government and by claiming he is the Messiah, a king.”
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
Herod was delighted at the opportunity to see Jesus, because he had heard about him and had been hoping for a long time to see him perform a miracle.
Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
He asked Jesus question after question, but Jesus refused to answer.
And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
Meanwhile, the leading priests and the teachers of religious law stood there shouting their accusations.
And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
Then Herod and his soldiers began mocking and ridiculing Jesus. Finally, they put a royal robe on him and sent him back to Pilate.
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
(Herod and Pilate, who had been enemies before, became friends that day.)
The Crowd Chooses Barabbas
And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
Then Pilate called together the leading priests and other religious leaders, along with the people,
Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:
and he announced his verdict. “You brought this man to me, accusing him of leading a revolt. I have examined him thoroughly on this point in your presence and find him innocent.

Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
Pilate argued with them, because he wanted to release Jesus.
But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
For the third time he demanded, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have found no reason to sentence him to death. So I will have him flogged, and then I will release him.”
And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
But the mob shouted louder and louder, demanding that Jesus be crucified, and their voices prevailed.
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
So Pilate sentenced Jesus to die as they demanded.
And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
As they had requested, he released Barabbas, the man in prison for insurrection and murder. But he turned Jesus over to them to do as they wished.

Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
The crowd watched and the leaders scoffed. “He saved others,” they said, “let him save himself if he is really God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”

A sign was fastened above him with these words: “This is the King of the Jews.”
And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
One of the criminals hanging beside him scoffed, “So you’re the Messiah, are you? Prove it by saving yourself — and us, too, while you’re at it!”
But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
But the other criminal protested, “Don’t you fear God even when you have been sentenced to die?
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
We deserve to die for our crimes, but this man hasn’t done anything wrong.”
