Jesus before Pilate
1 Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders, scribes, and the entire 15:1 Or SanhedrinCouncil immediately held a consultation; and they bound Jesus and led Him away, and turned Him over to Pilate. 2 Pilate questioned Him: "So You are the King of the Jews?" And He answered him, "It is as you say."3 And the chief priests started accusing Him 15:3 Or harshlyof many things. 4 But Pilate questioned Him again, saying, "Do You offer nothing in answer? See how many charges they are bringing against You!" 5 But Jesus said nothing further in answer, so Pilate was amazed.
