Mark 15:1-5 Part 3 of 3

    Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.

    "Are you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate.

    "You have said so," Jesus replied. 

    The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, "Aren't you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of."

    But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.

Isaiah 53:7

    yet he did not open his mouth;

he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,

    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,

    he did not open his mouth.

Matthew 27:12-14

Luke 23:8-9

John 18:33-36  

    Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"

    "Is that your own idea," Jesus asked, "or did others talk to you about me?"

    "Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied. "Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?"

    Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place."
