Luke 23:1-5 - Jesus Brought Before Pilate

¹ And they all went and took him before Pilate. ² And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

³ And Pilate said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said in answer, You say so.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong

⁵ But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.

²⁸ So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.

²⁹ So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?

³⁰ They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you.

³¹ Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and let him be judged by your law. But the Jews said to him, We have no right to put any man to death. ³² (That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)
