Πιλάτος

And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

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 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.

But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

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?

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.

Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,

There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.

And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
