and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

1. The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.

2. They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king."

3. Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"He answered him,"So you say."

4. Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, "I find no basis for a charge against this man."

5. But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place."

6. But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7. When he found out that he was in Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in JERUSALEM during those days.

28. They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn't enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

29. Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"
