Matthew 27:1-2 - Jesus Taken To Pilate

¹ When morning came, all the high priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put him to death. ² They bound him with chains, led him away, and handed him over to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

¹ As soon as it was morning, the high priests convened a meeting with the elders and scribes and the whole Council. They bound Jesus with chains, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.

² Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered him, "You say so."

³ The high priests kept accusing him of many things. ⁴ So Pilate asked him again, "Don't you have any answer? Look how many accusations they're bringing against you!" ⁵ But since Jesus no longer answered, Pilate was astonished.
