Luke 23:1-4

JMNT(i) 1 And so, after standing up, the entire full count of them (= the whole Sanhedrin and all assembled there) led Him on to Pilate [the Roman governor]. 2 Now [once there], they began to be progressively bringing charges and speaking down against Him, while accusing [Him], one after another saying, "We found this man time after time completely turning (or: We find this person progressively subverting and inciting revolt for) our nation and culture group – as well as habitually hindering and forbidding [folks] to continue paying taxes to Caesar – and repeatedly terming himself to now be Christ ([the] Anointed One; = the Messiah), a king!" 3 So Pilate questioned Him, saying, "Are you, yourself, the king of the Judeans?" Now making a decided response to him, He affirmed, "You, yourself, are now saying [it; so]." 4 Then Pilate said to the chief (or: ranking) priests and the crowd, "I find not even one ground for a charge (= no cause or reason for a case) in this man."
