Luke 23:1-5 - Jesus Brought Before Pilate

¹ And one and all the throng of them, arising, led him unto Pilate. ² And they began to accuse him, saying - This one, found we, perverting our nation, and forbidding to give, tribute unto Caesar, - and affirming himself to be, an anointed king.

³ And, Pilate, questioned him, saying - Art, thou, the king of the Jews? And, he, answering him, said - Thou, sayest.

⁴ And, Pilate, said unto the High-priests and the multitudes, Nothing, find I, worthy of blame, in this man.

⁵ But, they, began to be urgent, saying - He is stirring up the people, teaching along all Judaea, even beginning from Galilee unto this place.

²⁸ So they lead Jesus from Caiaphas unto the judgment-hall. Now it was early; and, they themselves, entered not into the judgment-hall, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

²⁹ Pilate, therefore, went forth outside unto them, and saith, - What accusation bring ye against this man?

³⁰ They answered and said unto him - If this one had not been doing, mischief, unto thee, had we not delivered him up.

³¹ Pilate, therefore, said unto them - Ye, take him, and, according to your law, judge ye him. The Jews said unto him - Unto us, it is not allowed, to kill anyone! - ³² that, the word of Jesus, might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to die.
