after this the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered all the foot-guards about him.

then they began to salute him, saying, "Hail king of the Jews!"

Then they led Jesus early in the morning from Caiaphas, to the Pretorium: but the Jews themselves did not enter into the Pretorium, lest they should be defiled: and so not be in a condition to eat the passover.

Then Pilate entred into the Pretorium, and addressing himself to Jesus, said to him, are not you the king of the Jews?

and went again into the Pretorium, and said to Jesus, who was your father? but Jesus gave him no answer.

at the same time he writ a letter to Felix to this purport.

so that the whole court and publick are well appriz'd that I am a prisoner upon the account of Jesus Christ.

is it not however some advantage? since in either way, whether it be occasionally, or professedly, Christ is preach'd; which is now, and always will be matter of joy to me.
