*
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 .
