Contextual Overview

1 AND immediately in the morning the high priests took counsel together with the elders and the scribes and with the whole council; and they bound Jesus and took him away, and delivered him to Pilate the governor. 2 And Pilate asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? He answered and said to him, You say that. 3 And the high priests accused him of many things. 4 Then Pilate asked again and said to him, Do you not answer? see, how many are testifying against you. 5 But Jesus gave no answer, so that Pilate marvelled. 6 Now it was the custom on every feast to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked for. 7 There was one called Bar-Abbas, who was bound with those who made insurrection, and who had committed murder during the insurrection. 8 And the people cried out, and began to ask, to do for them according to the custom. 9 Pilate answered and said, Are you willing that I release to you the King of the Jews? 10 For Pilate knew that the high priests had delivered him because of envy.
