Then the ruler's armed men took Jesus into the open square, and got all their band together.

You Beth-lehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the chiefs of Judah: out of you will come a ruler, who will be the keeper of my people Israel.

While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.

And when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the players with their instruments and the people making a noise,

But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.

But the Pharisees, hearing of it, said, This man only sends evil spirits out of men by Beelzebub, the ruler of evil spirits.

And they put cords on him and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate, the ruler.

And Jesus was before the ruler, who put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say so.

And he gave him no answer, not even a word: so that the ruler was greatly surprised.

Now at the feast it was the way for the ruler to let free to the people one prisoner, at their selection.

But the ruler made answer and said to them, Which of the two is it your pleasure that I let go free? And they said, Barabbas.

And if this comes to the ruler's ears, we will see that he does not make you responsible.
