* 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 Pilate asked him , Art thou the King of the Jews ? And he answering said unto him , Thou sayest it . * And the chief priests accused him of many things : but he answered nothing . * And Pilate asked him again , saying , Answerest thou nothing ? behold how many things they witness against thee . * But Jesus yet answered nothing ; so that Pilate marvelled . * Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner , whomsoever they desired . * And there was one named Barabbas , which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him , who had committed murder in the insurrection . * And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them . * But Pilate answered them , saying , Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews ? * For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy . * But the chief priests moved the people , that he should rather release Barabbas unto them . * 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 they cried out again , Crucify him . * Then Pilate said unto them , Why , what evil hath he done ? And they cried out the more exceedingly , Crucify him . * And so Pilate , willing to content the people , released Barabbas unto them , and delivered Jesus , when he had scourged him , to be crucified .
