Contextual Overview

1 As soon as it was morning, the head cohanim held a council meeting with the elders, the Torah-teachers and the whole Sanhedrin. Then they put Yeshua in chains, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. 2 Pilate put this question to him: "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "The words are yours." 3 The head cohanim too made accusations against him, 4 and Pilate again inquired of him, "Aren't you going to answer? Look how many charges they are making against you!" 5 But Yeshua made no further response, to Pilate's amazement. 6 Now during a festival, Pilate used to set free one prisoner, whomever the crowd requested. 7 There was in prison among the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection a man called Bar-Abba. 8 When the crowd came up and began asking Pilate to do for them what he usually did, 9 he asked them, "Do you want me to set free for you the ‘King of the Jews'?" 10 For it was evident to him that it was out of jealousy that the head cohanim had handed him over.
