Before Pilate and Herod

And straightway in the morning
The chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council
And bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate

When Pilate heard of Galilee
He asked whether the man were a Galilean
And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction
He sent him to Herod who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time
And when Herod saw Jesus he was exceeding glad
Then he questioned with him in many words
But Jesus answered him nothing
And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him

Therefore when they were gathered together
Pilate said unto themWhom will ye that I release unto you
Barabbas or Jesus which is called Christ
And they cried out all at once saying
Away with this man and release unto us Barabbas

When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing
But that rather a tumult was made he took water
And washed his hands before the multitude saying
I am innocent of the blood of this just person
See ye to it
