Pilate
Matthew	Mark	Luke	John
27:2 And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.	15:1 and bound Jesus, and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] to Pilate.	23:1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.	18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment:
			18:28 and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
27:3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 27:4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What [is that] to us? see thou [to that.] 27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 27:6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 27:7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 27:8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. 27:9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; 27:10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
			18:29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
			18:30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee. 18:31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: 18:32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
		23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this [fellow] perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
27:11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews?	15:2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews?	23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews?	18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
			18:34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? 18:35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then?
27:11 And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.	15:2 And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest [it.]	23:3 And he answered him and said, Thou sayest [it.]	18:37 Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.
			18:37 To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 18:38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews,
		23:4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and [to] the people, I find no fault in this man.	18:38 and saith unto them, I find in him no fault [at all.]
27:12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.	15:3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
27:13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?	15:4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
27:14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.	15:5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
		23:5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. 23:6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean. 23:7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time. 23:8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long [season,] because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. 23:9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. 23:10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. 23:11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked [him,] and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. 23:12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves. 23:13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 23:14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined [him] before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: 23:15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. 23:16 I will therefore chastise him, and release [him.]
27:15 Now at [that] feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.	15:6 Now at [that] feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.	23:17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)	18:39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover:
27:16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.	15:7 And there was [one] named Barabbas, [which lay] bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
	15:8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire [him to do] as he had ever done unto them.
27:17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?	15:9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?		18:39 will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
27:18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.	15:10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
27:19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.	15:11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
27:21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you?
27:21 They said, Barabbas.		23:18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this [man,] and release unto us Barabbas:	18:40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas.
		23:19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)	18:40 Now Barabbas was a robber.
27:26 and when he had scourged Jesus, ...	15:15 ... when he had scourged [him] ...		19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged [him.]
27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band [of soldiers.]	15:16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
27:29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put [it] upon his head,	15:17 and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his [head,]		19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put [it] on his head,
27:28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.	15:17 And they clothed him with purple,		19:2 and they put on him a purple robe,
27:29 and a reed in his right hand:
27:29 and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!	15:18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!		19:3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews!
27:30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.	15:19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him,		19:3 and they smote him with their hands.
	15:19 and bowing [their] knees worshipped him.
27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?	15:12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do [unto him] whom ye call the King of the Jews?	23:20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.	19:4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them,
			19:4 Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
			19:5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold the man!
			19:6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him,
27:22 [They] all say unto him, Let him be crucified.	15:13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.	23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify [him,] crucify him.	19:6 they cried out, saying, Crucify [him,] crucify [him.]
27:23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done?	15:14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done?	23:22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done?
			19:6 Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify [him:]
		23:22 I have found no cause of death in him:	19:6 for I find no fault in him.
		23:22 I will therefore chastise him, and let [him] go.
			19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. 19:8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; 19:9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. 19:10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? 19:11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power [at all] against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. 19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. 19:13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. 19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
27:23 But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.	15:14 And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.	23:23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified.	19:15 But they cried out, Away with [him,] away with [him,] crucify him.
			19:15 Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
		23:23 And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but [that] rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed [his] hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye [to it.] 27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children.
		23:24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them:	15:15 And [so] Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them,	23:25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired;
27:26 and ... he delivered [him] to be crucified.	15:15 and delivered Jesus ... to be crucified.	23:25 but he delivered Jesus to their will.	19:16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified.
			19:16 And they took Jesus, and led [him] away.
27:31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify [him.]	15:20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
