G4091–Πιλᾶτος–Pilatos

And on that very day Herod and Pilate became friends again, for they had been for some time at enmity.

Πιλᾶτος Pilatos “Pilate”

Then calling together the High Priests and the Rulers and the people, Pilate said,

Πιλᾶτος Pilatos “Pilate”

But Pilate once more addressed them, wishing to set Jesus free.

Πιλᾶτος Pilatos “Pilate”

So Pilate gave judgement, yielding to their demand.

Πιλᾶτος Pilatos “Pilate”

and now he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

Πιλάτῳ Pilatō “to Pilate”

Accordingly Pilate came out to them and inquired, "What accusation have you to bring against this man?"

Πιλᾶτος Pilatos “Pilate”

"Take him yourselves," said Pilate, "and judge him by your Law." "We have no power," replied the Jews, "to put any man to death."

Πιλᾶτος· Pilatos “Pilate;”

Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus and asked Him, "Are *you* the King of the Jews?"

Πιλᾶτος Pilatos “Pilate”

"Am I a Jew?" exclaimed Pilate; "it is your own nation and the High Priests who have handed you over to me. What have you done?"

Πιλᾶτος· Pilatos “Pilate;”

"So then *you* are a king!" rejoined Pilate. "Yes," said Jesus, "you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world--to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend of the truth liste

Πιλᾶτος· Pilatos “Pilate;”

"What is truth?" said Pilate. But no sooner had he spoken the words than he went out again to the Jews and told them, "I find no crime in him.

Πιλᾶτος· Pilatos “Pilate;”

Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.

Πιλᾶτος Pilatos “Pilate”

Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, "See, I am bringing him out to you to let you clearly understand that I find no crime in him."

Πιλᾶτος Pilatos “Pilate”

As soon then as the High Priests and the officers saw Him, they shouted "To the cross! To the cross!" "Take him yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate; "for I, at any rate, find no crime in him."

Πιλᾶτος· Pilatos “Pilate;”

More alarmed than ever, Pilate no sooner heard these words than he re-entered the Praetorium and began to question Jesus.

Πιλᾶτος Pilatos “Pilate”

"Do you refuse to speak even to me?" asked Pilate; "do you not know that I have it in my power either to release you or to crucify you?"

Πιλᾶτος· Pilatos “Pilate;”

Upon receiving this answer, Pilate was for releasing Him. But the Jews kept shouting, "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar's. Every one who sets himself up as king declares himself a rebel against Caesar."

Πιλᾶτος Pilatos “Pilate”

On hearing this, Pilate brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judge's seat in a place called the Pavement--or in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

Πιλᾶτος Pilatos “Pilate”

This caused a storm of outcries, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" "Am I to crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king, except Caesar," answered the High Priests.

Πιλᾶτος· Pilatos “Pilate;”

And Pilate wrote a notice and had it fastened to the top of the cross. It ran thus: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Πιλᾶτος Pilatos “Pilate”

This led the Jewish High Priests to remonstrate with Pilate. "You should not write `The King of the Jews,'" they said, "but that he claimed to be King of the Jews."

Πιλάτῳ Pilatō “to Pilate”

"What I have written I have written," was Pilate's answer.

Πιλᾶτος· Pilatos “Pilate;”

Meanwhile the Jews, because it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and in order that the bodies might not remain on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was one of special solemnity), requested Pilate to have the legs of the dying

After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but for fear of the Jews a secret disciple, asked Pilate's permission to carry away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and removed the body.

Πιλᾶτον Pilaton “Pilate”Πιλᾶτος. Pilatos “Pilate.”

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has conferred this honour on His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to let Him go.
