Jesus is Brought To Pilate

Roman guards open the gates and take Jesus. They march through the courtyard followed by the crowd. Pontius Pilate marches out. He's known as the most vicious Roman governor, responsible for the crucifixion of thousands. Pilate demands to know what they want. The Jewish crowd yells that Jesus is confusing their people and that Jesus upset the temple market. They demand a sentence from Pilate. Pilate asks Jesus if he is the King of the Jews. Jesus only replies, "So you say."

Luke 23:1-7

Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate. And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.” So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied. Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.” But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.” When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean. And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

Move! And they took Him to Pontius Pilate, the most vicious of all Roman governors. Pilate himself had sentenced thousands of people to a slow death by nailing them to wooden crosses. And what do you want here, at this hour of the morning? We caught this Man misleading our people. He caused an uproar in the temple market. What will be His punishment? Sentence Him! I see no reason to condemn this Man, no reason. We found Him guilty, telling them not to pay taxes to the emperor, claiming Himself the Messiah, a king. A king? Are You the King of the Jews? So you say. He began teaching in Galilee and now He has come here. In Galilee? Is this Man a Galilean? In that case, we'll let Herod deal with Him. He's still here in Jerusalem, isn't he? Take Him to Herod!
