Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear all their evidence against you?"
So the high priest rose and said to him, "Have you no reply to make? What of this evidence against you?"
till the commander ordered him to be taken inside the barracks and examined under the lash, so as to find out why the people shouted at him in this way.
"Am I a Jew?" said Pilate. "Your own nation and the high priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?"
But while he was being accused by the high priests and elders, he made no reply.
But, to Pilate's great astonishment, he would not answer him a single word.
