2. Then they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this one subverting our nation, and prohibiting giving tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is Christ the king."
3. And Pilate questioned him, saying: "You are the king of the Jews?" But in response, he said: "You are saying it."
4. Then Pilate said to the leaders of the priests and to the crowds, "I find no case against this man."
5. But they continued more intensely, saying: "He has stirred up the people, teaching throughout all of Judea, beginning from Galilee, even to this place."
6. But Pilate, upon hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee.
7. And when he realized that he was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem in those days.

9. Then he questioned him with many words. But he gave him no response at all.
10. And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, stood firm in persistently accusing him.
