Luke 23:1–5

JESUS FACES PILATE

23 Thenh their whole assembly rose up and brought him before Pilate. 2 They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation, opposing payment of taxesi to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Messiah, a king.”

3 So Pilate asked him,j “Are you the king of the Jews?”k

He answered him, “You say so.”C

4 Pilate then told the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no groundsl for charging this man.”

5 But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people,m teaching throughout all Judea, from Galileen where he started even to here.”
