1 cMatt. 27:1; Luke 22:66 And as soon as it was morning, the chief priestsdch. 3:6 held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole Council. AndeMatt. 27:2 they bound Jesus andfLuke 23:1; John 18:28 led him away andgSee ch. 10:33 delivered him over tohLuke 3:1; 13:1; Acts 3:13; 4:27; 1 Tim. 6:13 Pilate. 2 iFor ver. 2-5, see Matt. 27:11-14; Luke 23:2, 3; John 18:29-38 And Pilate asked him,jver. 9, 12, 18, 26; Matt. 2:2; John 18:39; 19:3; [ver. 32] “Are you the King of the Jews? ” And he answered him, k[1 Tim. 6:13]; See Luke 22:70 “You have said so. ” 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things. 4 And Pilate again asked him,l[John 19:10]; See Matt. 26:63 “Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you. ” 5 But Jesusl[See ver. 4 above] made no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed.
