Saying, Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship.

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 they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews.

And they put up over his head the statement of his crime in writing, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time.
