Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?” Jesus replied, “You have said it.”
“Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”
Pilate asked them, “Then what should I do with this man you call the king of the Jews?”
Then they saluted him and taunted, “Hail! King of the Jews!”
A sign announced the charge against him. It read, “The King of the Jews.”
Then the leading priests kept accusing him of many crimes,
“Would you like me to release to you this ‘King of the Jews’?” Pilate asked.
And I charge you before God, who gives life to all, and before Christ Jesus, who gave a good testimony before Pontius Pilate,
