International Standard Version

1Early in the morning, the chief priests, elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin devised a plan. They bound Jesus, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate.

1As soon as it was morning, the high priests convened a meeting with the elders and scribes and the whole Council. They bound Jesus with chains, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.

2So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

2Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered him, "You say so."

3And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

3The high priests kept accusing him of many things.

4Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

4So Pilate asked him again, "Don't you have any answer? Look how many accusations they're bringing against you!"

5But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

5But since Jesus no longer answered, Pilate was astonished.

6Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.

6At every festival, Pilate would release any one prisoner whom the people requested.

7And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.

7Now there was a man in prison named Barabbas. He had been with the insurgents who had committed murder during the rebellion.

8So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

8So the crowd came and began to request that Pilate do for them what he always did.

9“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.

9Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release the king of the Jews for you?"

10For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

10because he knew that the high priests had handed him over due to jealousy.

11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

11But the high priests stirred up the crowd to get him to release Barabbas for them instead.

12So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

12So Pilate asked them again, "Then what should I do with the man you call 'the King of the Jews'?"

13And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

13"Crucify him!" they shouted back.

14“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

14"Why?" Pilate asked them. "What has he done wrong?" But they shouted even louder, "Crucify him!"

15And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

15So Pilate, wanting to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas for them, but he had Jesus whipped and handed over to be crucified.

31In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

31In the same way, the high priests, along with the scribes, were also making fun of him among themselves. They kept saying, "He saved others, but can't save himself!

32Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” And even those who were crucified with Him berated Him.
