15 As soon as it was morning, the high priests convened a meeting with the elders and scribes and the whole Council.^[a] They bound Jesus with chains, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate. ² Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

Jesus^[b] answered him, “You say so.”

³ The high priests kept accusing him of many things. ⁴ So Pilate asked him again, “Don’t you have any answer? Look how many accusations they’re bringing against you!” ⁵ But since Jesus no longer answered, Pilate was astonished.

23 Then the whole crowd got up and took him to Pilate. ² They began to accuse him, “We found this man corrupting our nation, forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that he is the Messiah,^[a] a king.”

³ Then Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

He answered, “You say so.”

⁴ Then Pilate told the high priests and crowds, “I do not find anything chargeable in this man.”

⁵ But they kept insisting, “He is stirring up the people with what he teaches all over Judea, from where he started in Galilee to this place.”
