(And immediately) in the early morning, having made a plan, the chief priests with the elders and the scholars that is the whole Sanhedrin, having bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. 

And Pilate asked him: ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’

But he answered him: ‘So you are saying.’ 

And the chief priests accused him of many things. 

But Pilate again asked him: ‘You are answering nothing, are you? Look, how many things they accuse you of.’

But Jesus replied nothing, so that Pilate was amazed.

Take from us,
O God, all pride and vanity,
all boasting and self-assertion,
and give us the true courage that shows itself in gentleness,
the true wisdom that shows itself in simplicity,
and the true power that shows itself in modesty.

Charles Kingsley
