After tying Jesus up, they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate. 1Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate.

14Then Pilate said to them, "Why? What has He done wrong?" But they shouted, "Crucify Him!" all the more. 14But Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify Him!"
15Then, willing to gratify the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. And after having Jesus flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified. 15Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
