²⁰ And how the chief priests and our rulers gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

¹³ And Pilate sent for the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them,

²⁷ For the men of Jerusalem and their rulers, having no knowledge of him, or of the sayings of the prophets which come to their ears every Sabbath day, gave effect to them by judging him.

²⁸ And though no cause of death was seen in him, they made a request to Pilate that he might be put to death.

²⁹ And when they had done all the things said in the Writings about him, they took him down from the tree, and put him in the place of the dead.

³⁰ The God of our fathers gave Jesus back to life, whom you had put to death, hanging him on a tree.

³¹ Him God has put on high at his right hand, as a Ruler and a Saviour, to give to Israel a change of heart and forgiveness of sins.

²⁷ For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together,

²⁸ To do that which had been fixed before by your hand and your purpose.

⁸ Then Peter, being full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, O you rulers of the people and men of authority,

⁹ If we are questioned today about a good work done to a man who was ill, as to how he has been made well,

¹⁰ Take note, all of you, and all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you put to death on the cross, whom God gave back from the dead, even through him is this man now before you completely well.

¹³ The God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has given glory to his servant Jesus; whom you gave up, turning your backs on him, when Pilate had made the decision to let him go free.

¹⁴ But you would have nothing to do with the Holy and Upright One, and made request for a man of blood to be given to you,

¹⁵ And put to death the Lord of life; whom God gave back from the dead; of which fact we are witnesses.

⁶⁶ And when it was day, the rulers of the people came together, with the chief priests and the scribes, and they took him before their Sanhedrin, saying,

⁶⁷ If you are the Christ, say so. But he said, If I say so you will not have belief;

⁶⁸ And if I put a question to you, you will not give an answer.

⁶⁹ But in the future the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.

⁷⁰ And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? and he said, You say that I am.

⁷¹ And they said, What more need have we of witness? we have the very words of his mouth.

¹ And they all went and took him before Pilate.

² And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

³ And Pilate said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said in answer, You say so.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong.

⁵ But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.

¹ And the first thing in the morning the chief priests, with those in authority and the scribes and all the Sanhedrin, had a meeting, and put cords round Jesus, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.

²⁰ Now the chief priests and those in authority got the people to make request for Barabbas, and for Jesus to be put to death.

¹ Now when it was morning, all the chief priests and those in authority took thought together with the purpose of putting Jesus to death.

² And they put cords on him and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate, the ruler.
