10. To the chief priests, the chiefs of the temple guard and the ancients, Jesus said, “Am I a criminal that you come after me with swords and clubs? When I was daily in the temple you never raised a hand against me. But this is your hour—the triumph of darkness!” Luke 22:52-53

4. (Peter, in the courtyard of the high priest, warming himself by the fire, when questioned, denied being a follower of Jesus three times and the third time said,) “I don’t know what you are talking about?” Just then a cock crowed.

6. Pilate said to the Jews, “I find no case against this man. Recall your custom whereby I release someone to you at Passover time.

3. As soon as the chief priests and the temple guards saw him they shouted, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Pilate said, “Take him and crucify him yourselves; I find no case against him.” “We have our law,” the Jews responded, “and according to that law he must die because he made himself God’s Son.” John 19:6-7
4. Pilate was eager to release him, but the Jews shouted, “If you free this man, you are no ‘Friend of Caesar.’ Anyone who makes himself a king becomes Caesar’s rival.” John 19:12
5. Pilate brought Jesus outside and took a seat on a judge’s bench at the place called Gabbatha. He said to the Jews, “Look at your king!” At this they shouted, “Away with him! Away with him!

Then save yourself and us.” But the other one rebuked him: “Have you no fear of God, seeing you are under the same sentence? We deserve it, after all. We are only paying the price for what we’ve done, but this man has done nothing wrong.” He then said, “Jesus, remember me when you enter upon your reign.” Jesus replied, “I assure you: this day you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:39-43
