Luke 23:1-3

Amplified Bible

Jesus before Pilate

23 Then the whole assembly got up and brought Him before Pilate. ² They began to accuse Jesus, asserting, “We found this Man misleading and perverting our nation and forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar, and claiming that He Himself is Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), a King.”^{(A) 3} So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answered him, “It is just as you say.”
