AD 33 · Life of Christ

Jesus before Pilate and Herod

The leaders brought Jesus to Pilate, who sent Him to Herod and then questioned Him again. Though Pilate repeatedly found no basis for a charge, the crowd demanded Barabbas and called for Jesus to be crucified; Pilate handed Him over (Luke 23:1-25; John 18:28-19:16).

1Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate. 2And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.” 3So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
