JESUS BEFORE PILATE
Early Pilate entered the judgment hall and with a dark scowl said, "What accusation have you against this man?" and the mob cried, "He is a malefactor, or we would not have brought him here."
"What crime hath he committed?"
"He stirreth up the people, causing insurrection."
"How?"
"He says he is the Christ which was to come."
"Is he?"
"He is a carpenter from Galilee."
"Carpenter from Galilee, so I have heard. Loose the shackles at once; why so cruel."
"He deceiveth the people. He is not the Christ."
