Jesus before Pilate
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
1 Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate.1 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.1 Early in the morning the chief priests immediately came to a decision with the leaders and the scribes. The whole Jewish council decided to tie Jesus up, lead him away, and hand him over to Pilate.1 Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.1 And immediately in the morning the chief priests, having taken counsel with the elders and scribes and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
2 Pilate questioned Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him, "It is as you say."2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.2 Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" "Yes, I am," Jesus answered him.2 Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered, "So you say."2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, Thou sayest.
3 The chief priests began to accuse Him harshly.3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.3 The chief priests were accusing him of many things.3 The chief priests accused him of many things.3 And the chief priests accused him urgently.
4 Then Pilate questioned Him again, saying, "Do You not answer? See how many charges they bring against You!"4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.4 So Pilate asked him again, "Don't you have any answer? Look how many accusations they're bringing against you!"4 Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!"4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? See of how many things they bear witness against thee.
5 But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate was amazed.5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.5 But Jesus no longer answered anything, so Pilate was surprised.5 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.5 But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
6 Now at the feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested.6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.6 At every Passover festival, Pilate would free one prisoner whom the people asked for.6 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.6 But at the feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged of him.
7 The man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection.7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.7 There was a man named Barabbas in prison. He was with some rebels who had committed murder during a riot.7 There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.7 Now there was the person named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with him, and that had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 The crowd went up and began asking him to do as he had been accustomed to do for them.8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.8 The crowd asked Pilate to do for them what he always did.8 The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.8 And the crowd crying out began to beg that he would do to them as he had always done.
9 Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?9 Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to free the king of the Jews for you?"9 Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"9 But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?
10 For he was aware that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.10 Pilate knew that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him because they were jealous.10 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.10 for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy.
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to ask him to release Barabbas for them instead.11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.11 The chief priests stirred up the crowd so that Pilate would free Barabbas for them instead.11 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
12 Answering again, Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?"12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?12 So Pilate again asked them, "Then what should I do with the king of the Jews?"12 Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"12 And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do to him whom ye call King of the Jews?
13 They shouted back, "Crucify Him!"13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.13 "Crucify him!" they shouted back.13 They cried out again, "Crucify him!"13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14 But Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify Him!"14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.14 Pilate said to them, "Why? What has he done wrong?" But they shouted even louder, "Crucify him!"14 Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they cried out exceedingly, "Crucify him!"14 And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him.
15 Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.15 Pilate wanted to satisfy the people, so he freed Barabbas for them. But he had Jesus whipped and handed over to be crucified.15 Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.15 And Pilate, desirous of contenting the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified.
