1 As soon as it was daylight, the Chief Priests, after holding a consultation with the Councillors and Teachers of the Law--that is to say, the whole High Council--put Jesus in chains, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.
1 (A)Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole (a)(B)Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate.

2 "Are you the King of the Jews?" asked Pilate. "It is true," replied Jesus.
2 (C)Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He *answered him, “It is as you say.”
2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
2 Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered him, "You say so."
4 Upon which Pilate questioned Jesus again. "Have you no reply to make?" he asked. "Listen, how many charges they are bringing against you."
4 Then Pilate questioned Him again, saying, “Do You not answer? See how many charges they bring against You!”
4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
4 Then Pilate(H) questioned Him again, “Are You not answering anything? Look how many things they are accusing You of!”
4 So Pilate asked him again, "Don't you have any answer? Look how many accusations they're bringing against you!"
6 Now, at the Feast, Pilate used to grant the people the release of any one prisoner whom they might ask for.
6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
6 At(I) the festival(J) it was Pilate’s(K) custom to release for the people a prisoner they requested.
6 At every festival, Pilate would release any one prisoner whom the people requested.
7 A man called Barabbas was in prison, with the rioters who had committed murder during a riot.
7 The man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
7 There was one named Barabbas, who was in prison with rebels who had committed murder(L) during the rebellion.(M)
7 Now there was a man in prison named Barabbas. He had been with the insurgents who had committed murder during the rebellion.
8 So, when the crowd went up and began to ask Pilate to follow his usual custom,
8 The crowd went up and began asking him to do as he had been accustomed to do for them.
8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
8 The crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do for them as was his custom.
8 So the crowd came and began to request that Pilate do for them what he always did.
9 He answered: "Do you want me to release the 'King of the Jews' for you?"
9 Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
9 Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release the king of the Jews for you?"
10 For he was aware that it was out of jealousy that the Chief Priests had given Jesus up to him.
10 For he was aware that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
10 because he knew that the high priests had handed him over due to jealousy.
11 But the Chief Priests incited the crowd to get Barabbas released instead.
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.
11 But the high priests stirred up the crowd to get him to release Barabbas for them instead.
12 Pilate, however, spoke to them again: "What shall I do then with the man whom you call the 'King of the Jews'?"
12 Answering again, Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
12 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?
12 Pilate asked them again, “Then what do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”
12 So Pilate asked them again, "Then what should I do with the man you call "the King of the Jews'?"
14 "Why, what harm has he done?" Pilate kept saying to them. But they shouted furiously: "Crucify him!"
14 But Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify Him!”
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What has He done wrong?”But they shouted, “Crucify Him!” all the more.
14 "Why?" Pilate asked them. "What has he done wrong?" But they shouted even louder, "Crucify him!"
15 And Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and, after scourging Jesus, gave him up to be crucified.
15 Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus (G)scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
15 Then, willing to gratify the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. And after having Jesus flogged,(b) he handed Him over to be crucified.
15 So Pilate, wanting to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas for them, but he had Jesus whipped and handed over to be crucified.
16 The soldiers then took Jesus away into the court-yard--that is the Government House--and they called the whole garrison together.
