As soon as it was morning, the
chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation;
and they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him to Pilate. And they all
condemned him and said, "He deserves to die." When Pilate heard these
words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called the
Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. Then he handed Jesus over to them to be
crucified.
