Luke 23:2-4

J.B. Phillips New Testament

Jesus is taken before Pilate and Herod

23 ^1-2 Then they rose up in a body and took him off to Pilate and began their accusation in these words, “Here is this man whom we found corrupting our people, and telling them that it is wrong to pay taxes to Caesar, claiming that he himself is Christ, a king.”

³ But Pilate addressed his question to Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “Yes, I am,” he replied.

⁴ Then Pilate spoke to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find nothing criminal about this man.”
