Mark

And immediately in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. And they bound Jesus and led [Him] away and delivered [Him] to Pilate.

And Pilate asked Him, Are you the king of the Jews? And answering He said to him, You say [it].

And the chief priests accused Him [of] many things, but He answered nothing.

And Pilate asked Him again, saying, Do you answer nothing? Behold how many things they witness against you?

But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.

And at [that] feast he released to them one prisoner, whomever they desired.

And there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with the insurgents, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

And the crowd, crying aloud, began to beg [him to do] as he had always done to them.

But Pilate answered them, saying, Do you desire that I release to you the King of the Jews?

For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him because of envy.
