Luke 23:1-3

Living Bible

23 Then the entire Council took Jesus over to Pilate, the governor.^{[a] 2} They began at once accusing him: “This fellow has been leading our people to ruin by telling them not to pay their taxes to the Roman government and by claiming he is our Messiah—a King.”

³ So Pilate asked him, “Are you their Messiah—their King?”^[b]

“Yes,” Jesus replied, “it is as you say.”
