lont@Luke:22:66 @ As soon as it was day, the national senate, with the chief priests and scribes, were assembled, and having caused him to be brought into their council-chamber, said to him,

lont@Luke:22:67 @ If you be the Messiah, tell us. He answered,

lont@Luke:22:69" />

lont@Luke:22:70 @ They all replied, You are, then, the Son of God? He answered,

lont@Luke:22:71 @ Then they cried, What further need have we of evidence? We have heard enough ourselves, from his own mouth.

lont@Luke:23:1 @ And the assembly broke up, and conducted Jesus to Pilate:

lont@Luke:23:2 @ and they accused him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, calling himself Messiah the King.

lont@Luke:23:3 @ Then Pilate, asking him, said, You are the King of the Jews? He answered,

lont@Luke:23:4 @ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitude, I find nothing criminal in this man.

lont@Luke:23:5 @ But they became more vehement, adding, He raised sedition among the people, by the doctrine which he spread through all Judea, from Galilee, where he began, to this place.

lont@Luke:23:6 @ When Pilate heard them mention Galilee, he asked, whether the man were a Galilean.

lont@Luke:23:7 @ And finding that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also then at Jerusalem.

lont@Luke:23:8 @ And Herod was very glad to see Jesus: it was what he had long desired; having heard much of him, and hoping to see him perform some miracle.

lont@Luke:23:9 @ He, therefore, asked him many questions, but Jesus returned him no answer.

lont@Luke:23:10 @ Yet the chief priests and the scribes, who were present, accused him with eagerness.

lont@Luke:23:11 @ But Herod and his military train despised him: and having, in derision, arrayed him in a splendid robe, remanded him to Pilate.

lont@Luke:23:12 @ On that day, Pilate and Herod became friends; for, before, they had been at enmity.

lont@Luke:23:13 @ Pilate, having convened the chief priests, the magistrates and the people,

lont@Luke:23:14 @ said to them, You have brought this man before me, as one who excites the people to revolt; yet, having examined him in your presence, I have not found him guilt of any of those crimes of which you accuse him.

lont@Luke:23:15 @ Neither has Herod; for I referred you to him. Be assured, then, that he has done nothing to deserve death.

lont@Luke:23:16 @ I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

lont@Luke:23:17 @ For it was necessary that he should release one to them at the festival.

lont@Luke:23:18 @ Then all cried out together, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas.

lont@Luke:23:19 @ Now Barabbas had been imprisoned for raising sedition in the city, and for murder.

lont@Luke:23:20 @ Pilate, willing to release Jesus, again, expostulated.

lont@Luke:23:21 @ But they cried, saying, Crucify! crucify him!

lont@Luke:23:22 @ A third time he repeated, Why? What evil has this man done? I do not find him guilty of any capital crime; I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

lont@Luke:23:23 @ But they persisted, demanding, with much clamor, that he might be crucified. At last, their clamors, and those of the chief priests, prevailed:

lont@Luke:23:24 @ and Pilate pronounced sentence, that it should be as they desired.

lont@Luke:23:25 @ Accordingly, he released a man who had been imprisoned for sedition and murder; whom they required; and gave up Jesus to their will.
