Claudius Lysias to his excellence the governor Felix, greeting. This person had been seized by the Jews, and was ready to be slain by them: but coming on them with the guard, I rescued him out of their hands, having understood that he was a Roman citizen. And desirous of knowing the crime of which they accused him, I brought him down into their sanhedrim and found him accused of some disputed points of their law; but to have no charge laid against him worthy of death or of bonds. But it being discovered to me that a design was forming against the man's [life] by the Jews, immediately I sent him to thee, commanding his accusers also to produce what they have against him before thee. Farewel. Hereupon then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night unto Antipatris.

Then was Jesus placed before the governor, and the governor interrogated him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? Then Jesus replied to him, Thou sayest [true]. And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he made no reply. Then saith Pilate to him, Hearest thou not how many things they testify against thee? read more.
And he made him no reply, no not to a single word: so that the governor marvelled exceedingly. Now at the feast, the governor had been accustomed to release one prisoner to the people, whomsoever they chose. And they had at that time a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas. Being therefore gathered around him, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus called Messiah? For he knew that out of envy they had delivered him up. Then, as he was sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent a message to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous person; for I have suffered much to-day in a dream on his account. But the chief priests and elders persuaded the populace that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. The governor repeating the question, said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? They said Barabbas. Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah? They all say to him, Let him be crucified. The governor replied, But what evil hath he done? They cried out with greater vehemence, saying, Let him be crucified. When Pilate saw that it was of no use to contend, but that rather a tumult was rising, he took water, and washed his hands before the people, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man: ye must answer for it. Then all the people answering said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Then he released unto them Barabbas: but having scourged Jesus, he delivered him up to be crucified.
