Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”
When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marvelled greatly.
Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
the commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they shouted against him like that.
