Today’s Reading

Early in the morning, after forming a plan, the chief priests with the elders and the experts in the law and the whole Sanhedrin tied Jesus up, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate. ²So Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” He replied, “You say so.” ³Then the chief priests began to accuse him repeatedly. ⁴So Pilate asked him again, “Have you nothing to say? See how many charges they are bringing against you!” ⁵But Jesus made no further reply, so that Pilate was amazed.

⁶During the feast it was customary to release one prisoner to the people, whomever they requested. ⁷A man named Barabbas was imprisoned with rebels who had committed murder during an insurrection. ⁸Then the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to release a prisoner for them, as was his custom. ⁹So Pilate asked them, “Do you want me to release the king of the Jews for you?” ¹⁰(For he knew that the chief priests had handed him over because of envy.) ¹¹But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas instead. ¹²So Pilate spoke to them again, “Then what do you want me to do with the one you call king of the Jews?” ¹³They shouted back, “Crucify him!” ¹⁴Pilate asked them, “Why? What has he done wrong?” But they shouted more insistently, “Crucify him!”
