Jesus Delivered to Pilate

(Matthew 27:1–2)

Early in the morning, the chief priests, elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin[fn] devised a plan. They bound Jesus, led [Him] away, and handed [Him] over to Pilate.

2 

So Pilate questioned Him,“Are You the King of the Jews?”

“You have said so,” [Jesus] replied

3 

And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.[fn]

4 

Then Pilate questioned Him again“vvv Have You no answer Look how many charges they are testifying against You![fn]”

5 

But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply
