Jesus Faces Pilate

23 Then^(A) their whole assembly rose up and brought Him before Pilate. ² They began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, opposing payment of taxes^(B) to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is the Messiah, a King.”

³ So Pilate asked Him,^(C) “Are You the King of the Jews?”^(D)

He answered him, “You have said it.”^[a]

⁴ Pilate then told the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no grounds^(E) for charging this man.”

⁵ But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people,^(F) teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee^(G) where He started even to here.”
