Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many charges they are bringing against you?”
So the high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that they are testifying against you?”
But when he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not respond.
But he did not answer even one accusation, so that the governor was quite amazed.
Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own people and your chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?”
the commanding officer ordered Paul to be brought back into the barracks. He told them to interrogate Paul by beating him with a lash so that he could find out the reason the crowd was shouting at Paul in this way.
