* Immediately , in the morning , the chief priests held a consultation , along with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin ; and having bound Jesus , they led [Him ] away , and delivered [Him ] to Pilate . * Then Pilate asked Him , "Are You the King of the Jews ?"And He answered and said to him , "You are saying [what is so ]." * And the chief priests were accusing Him of many things . * Then Pilate questioned Him again , saying , "Do You answer nothing ? See how many things they testify against You !" * But Jesus no longer answered anything , so that Pilate marveled . * Now at the feast he would release one prisoner to them , whomever they would request . * And there was one called Barabbas , having been bound with his fellow rebels , who had committed murder in the rebellion . * Then the crowd cried out and began to request [that ] just as always he would do [this ] for them . * But Pilate answered them , saying , "Do you desire that I release to you the King of the Jews ?" * For he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered Him up . * But the chief priests stirred up the crowd , so that he should rather release Barabbas to them . * But Pilate answered and said to them again , "What then do you desire [that ] I should do [with Him ]whom you call King of the Jews ?" * And again they cried , "Crucify Him !" * But Pilate said to them , "Why , what evil did He do ?"But they cried out all the more , "Crucify Him !" * So Pilate , wanting to gratify the crowd , released Barabbas to them ; and he delivered up Jesus , after he had Him flogged , so that He might be crucified .
