Mark 15:3
1 Early in the morning, the chief priests, elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin devised a plan. They bound Jesus, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate.
2 So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.
4 Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”
5 But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.
