1Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate.

1Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.

2Pilate questioned Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him, "It is as you say."

2"Are you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate. "You have said so," Jesus replied.

3The chief priests began to accuse Him harshly.

3The chief priests accused him of many things.

4Then Pilate questioned Him again, saying, "Do You not answer? See how many charges they bring against You!"

4So again Pilate asked him, "Aren't you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of."

5But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate was amazed.

5But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.

9Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

9"Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate,

10For he was aware that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.

10knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.

11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to ask him to release Barabbas for them instead.

11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.

12Answering again, Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

12"What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?" Pilate asked them.

13They shouted back, "Crucify Him!"

13"Crucify him!" they shouted.

14But Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify Him!"

14"Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!"

15Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
