Matthew 27:11-14

EasyEnglish Bible

Pilate asks Jesus some questions

¹¹ Now Jesus stood in front of the Roman ruler, Pilate. The ruler asked Jesus, ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’

Jesus replied, ‘You have said it.’

¹² The leaders of the priests and the important Jews spoke against Jesus. They said that he had done many bad things. Jesus did not answer them. ¹³ So Pilate said to Jesus, ‘You hear what these men are saying against you. You should reply.’ ¹⁴ But Jesus did not reply to what the men were saying against him, not even to one thing. Pilate was very surprised about this.
