Letter "P" » Pilate
«And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, / Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: / No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.»
«And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, / Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.»
«And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.»
«And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? / And they cried out again, Crucify him.»
«And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.»
«And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.»
«(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) / And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: / (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) / Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.»
«And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.»
«And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! / But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.»
«And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.»
