Luke 23:1-5 - Jesus Brought Before Pilate
1 AND all the multitude arose and led him to Pilate. 2 And they accused him, saying, We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar, saying that he is an anointed king.
3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Are you the king of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, As you say.
4 And Pilate said to the chief priests, and the multitudes, I find no fault with this man.
5 And they were more violent, saying, He excites the people, teaching in all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.
28 THEN they led him from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. And it was morning; and they entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.
29 Then Pilate went out to them and said, What accusation do you bring against this man?
30 They answered and said to him, If he was not a criminal we should not have delivered him up to you.
31 Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death; 32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what death he was about to die.
