Jesus Delivered to Pilate
And straightway 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.
And straightway 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.
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 answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
Then the leading priests kept accusing him of many crimes,
And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
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? behold how many things they witness against thee.
But Jesus said nothing, much to Pilate’s surprise.
But Jesus yet 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
Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
One of the prisoners at that time was Barabbas, a revolutionary who had committed murder in an uprising.
And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
The crowd went to Pilate and asked him to release a prisoner as usual.
And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
“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 unto 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 for 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 moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto 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 answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the 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!”
Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, 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 so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
