And Pilate asked Him, Art thou the king of the Jews? and He answered It is as thou sayst.
3 And the chief priests were accusing Him of many things, [but He answered nothing.]

9 and Pilate answered them, saying, “Will you [that] I will release to you the King of the Jews?”

14 And Pilate said to them, “Why—what evil did He do?” And they cried out the more vehemently, “Crucify Him!”
But Pilate said unto them, Why, what ill has He done? And they cried out the more vehemently, Crucify Him.
