Jesus Delivered to Pilate
And immediately in the morning the chief priests, having taken counsel with the elders and scribes and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] up to Pilate.
And immediately in the morning the chief priests, having taken counsel with the elders and scribes and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] up to Pilate.
Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
Jesus replied, “You have said it.”
Jesus replied, “You have said it.”
And Pilate asked him, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, *Thou* sayest.
Then the leading priests kept accusing him of many crimes,
And the chief priests accused him urgently.
and Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer them? What about all these charges they are bringing against you?”
And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? See of how many things they bear witness against thee.
But Jesus said nothing, much to Pilate’s surprise.
But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.
Now it was the governor’s custom each year during the Passover celebration to release one prisoner — anyone the people requested.
The Crowd Chooses Barabbas
But at [the] feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged [of him].
But at [the] feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged [of him].
One of the prisoners at that time was Barabbas, a revolutionary who had committed murder in an uprising.
Now there was the [person] named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with [him], [and] that had committed murder in the insurrection.
The crowd went to Pilate and asked him to release a prisoner as usual.
And the crowd crying out began to beg [that he would do] to them as he had always done.
“Would you like me to release to you this ‘King of the Jews’?” Pilate asked.
But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?
(For he realized by now that the leading priests had arrested Jesus out of envy.)
for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy.
But at this point the leading priests stirred up the crowd to demand the release of Barabbas instead of Jesus.
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
Pilate asked them, “Then what should I do with this man you call the king of the Jews?”
Pilate Delivers Jesus to Be Crucified
And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do [to him] whom ye call King of the Jews?
And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do [to him] whom ye call King of the Jews?
“Why?” Pilate demanded. “What crime has he committed?”
But the mob roared even louder, “Crucify him!”
But the mob roared even louder, “Crucify him!”
And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him.
So to pacify the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He ordered Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip, then turned him over to the Roman soldiers to be crucified.
And Pilate, desirous of contenting the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified.

Well then, save yourself and come down from the cross!”
save thyself, and descend from the cross.
The leading priests and teachers of religious law also mocked Jesus. “He saved others,” they scoffed, “but he can’t save himself!
In like manner the chief priests also, with the scribes, mocking with one another, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
Let this Messiah, this King of Israel, come down from the cross so we can see it and believe him!” Even the men who were crucified with Jesus ridiculed him.

Joseph of Arimathea took a risk and went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. (Joseph was an honored member of the high council, and he was waiting for the Kingdom of God to come.)
Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable councillor, who also himself was awaiting the kingdom of God, coming, emboldened himself and went in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.
Pilate couldn’t believe that Jesus was already dead, so he called for the Roman officer and asked if he had died yet.
And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and having called to [him] the centurion, he inquired of him if he had long died.
The officer confirmed that Jesus was dead, so Pilate told Joseph he could have the body.
And when he knew from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
