Contextual Overview

1 And immediately in the morning, the chief priests with the elders and scribes and all the sanhedrin having made a council, having bound Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate. 2 And Pilate questioned Him, Are you the king of the Jews? And answering, He said to him, You say it . 3 And the chief priests urgently accused Him of many things. But He answered nothing. 4 But Pilate again questioned Him, saying, Do You answer nothing? Behold, how many things they testify against You. 5 But Jesus answered no more, nothing, so as for Pilate to marvel. 6 And at a feast, he released to them one prisoner, whomever they asked. 7 And there was one called Barabbas, having been bound with the insurgents, who in the insurrection had committed murder. 8 And crying aloud, the crowd began to beg him to do as he always did to them. 9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Do you desire I should release to you the king of the Jews? 10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up through envy.
