And he slew James the brother of John with a sword. And seeing that it is pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also: and those were the days of the unleavened bread:





Then when the high priest and officers saw Him, they cried out, Crucify Him, crucify Him. Pilate says to them, You take Him, and crucify Him: for I find nothing criminal in Him. And the Jews responded, We have a law, and according to law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God. Then when Pilate heard this word, he feared the more; read more.
then he went again into the judgment hall, and speaks to Jesus, Whence art thou? And Jesus gave him no answer. Pilate says to Him, Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and I have power to crucify you? Jesus responded, Thou hast no power against me, unless it was given to thee from above: on this account the one having betrayed me to thee has the greater sin. After this Pilate still sought to release Him: but the Jews continued to cry out, saying, If you release Him, you are not the friend of Caesar: every one making himself king speaks against Caesar. Then Pilate hearing these words, led out Jesus, and sat down on the tribunal, in the place called Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
