Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been handed down to them:

And Pilate put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he, answering, said to him, You say so.

And Pilate said in answer to them, Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

And Pilate again said in answer to them, What then am I to do to him to whom you give the name of the King of the Jews?

And, as if honouring him, they said, Long life to the King of the Jews!

And the statement of his crime was put in writing on the cross, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
