Then the palace guard took Jesus into the open square and gathered their squad together.

Hail King of the Jews! They shouted at him.

They lead Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early and they did not enter directly into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

Pilate entered again into the Praetorium. He called Jesus and asked him: Are you the King of the Jews?

He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus: Where are you from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

Then the commander wrote a letter that went like this:

My imprisonment in Christ became known throughout the whole Praetorian Guard, and to all brothers.

What then? That in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed! For that I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice!
