And they saluted him, Hail, king of the Jews.

Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's palace, and it was early: and they went not into the palace themselves, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

Then Pilate returned into the palace, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jews?

he was the more afraid, And returned into the palace and saith to Jesus, Whence art thou?

And he wrote a letter after this manner, Claudius Lysias to the most excellent Governor Felix, greeting.

So that my bonds in Christ have been made manifest in the whole palace, and to all others:

What then? still every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
