Jesus before Pilate

1 Then the whole body of them got up and abrought Him before Pilate.

2 aAnd they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man bmisleading our nation and cforbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is 1Christ, a King.”

3 So Pilate asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answered him and said, “aIt is as you say.”

4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “aI find no guilt in this man.”

5 But they kept on insisting, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching all over Judea, astarting from Galilee even as far as this place.”

6 When Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

7 And when he learned that He belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to aHerod, who himself also was in Jerusalem 1at that time.

Jesus before Herod

8 Now Herod was very glad when he saw Jesus; for ahe had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some 1sign performed by Him.

9 And he questioned Him 1at some length; but aHe answered him nothing.

10 And the chief priests and the scribes were standing there, accusing Him vehemently.
