1 Then athe whole multitude of them arose and led Him to bPilate.
2 And they began to aaccuse Him, saying, “We found this fellowbperverting the nation, and cforbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying dthat He Himself is Christ, a King.”
3aThen Pilate asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” He answered him and said, “It is as you say.”
4 So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, a“I find no fault in this Man.”
5 But they were the more fierce, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from aGalilee to this place.”
Jesus Faces Herod
6 When Pilate heard1 of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean.
7 And as soon as he knew that He belonged to aHerod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, ahe was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because bhe had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him.
9 Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him anothing.
10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him.
11aThen Herod, with his men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.
12 That very day aPilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.
Taking the Place of Barabbas
13aThen Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
14 said to them, a“You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, bhaving examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him;
15 no, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him.
