And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, / He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
