And the chief priests brought many charges against him.

And Pilate asked him again, Dost thou make no answer? See what things they are testifying against thee!

And the multitude, coming up, began to ask him to do as he had been wont to do for them.

And Pilate answering again said to them, What then would ye have me do with him whom ye call the king of the Jews?

And they cried out again, Crucify him!

And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,

he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
