1. And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests had a council meeting with the elders and scribes and all the council. Having bound יהושע, they led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.
2. And Pilate asked Him, “Are You the Sovereign of the Yehuḏim?” And He answering, said to him, “You say it.”
3. And the chief priests accused Him of much, but He made no answer.
4. And Pilate again asked Him, saying, “Have You no answer? See how much they witness against You!”
5. But יהושע still gave no answer, so that Pilate marvelled.
6. And at a festival he released to them one prisoner, whomever they were asking.
