⁶² And the chief priest having stood up, said to him, `Nothing thou dost answer! what do these witness against thee?

¹² And in his being accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not answer any thing,

¹³ then saith Pilate to him, `Dost thou not hear how many things they witness against thee?'

¹⁴ And he did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor did wonder greatly.

⁶⁰ And the chief priest, having risen up in the midst, questioned Jesus, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! what do these testify against thee?'

⁹ and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.

¹⁹ The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching;

²⁰ Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;

²¹ why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.'

²² And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?'

²³ Jesus answered him, `If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?'

²⁴ Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.

⁹ and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, `Whence art thou?' and Jesus gave him no answer.

¹⁰ Pilate, therefore, saith to him, `To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?'

¹¹ Jesus answered, `Thou wouldst have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.'
