And the high priests and all the Sanhedrin were seeking for testimony against Jesus, in order to put Him to death; and they were not finding it.

And straightway in the morning the high priests with the elders, and the scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin, having held a consultation, binding Jesus, carried Him away, and delivered Him up to Pilate.

And the centurion, who stood by over against Him, seeing that He so expired, said, "Truly this Man was a Son of God!"

And Pilate wondered, if He had already died; and, calling to him the centurion, he asked him, whether He were already dead.

And, having learned it from the centurion, he granted the Corpse to Joseph.
