1. Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Yeshua, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
2. Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”He answered, “So you say.”
3. The chief priests accused him of many things.
4. Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!”
5. But Yeshua made no further answer, so that Pilate marvelled.
6. Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.
7. There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
