Pontius Pilate:
You! You down there! Which of you bring charges against this prisoner?
Chief Priests:
We, the judges of the Sanhedrin, do, your Honour.
Pontius Pilate:
Who is he? And why do you delivered him up to me?
Chief Priests:
He is a deceiver, called Jesus of Nazareth!
Pontius Pilate:
What accusation do you bring against him?
Chief Priests:
Your Honour, if he were not a criminal,
We would not have delivered him up before your court of justice.
Just sign a death warrant, your Honour,
And relieved, so you can finish your sleeps.
Pontius Pilate:
It seems as I remember hearing that this man raised to life someone
Would been death for several days.
Before siging anything,
I want the charges against him fully-stated and proof.
Chief Priests:
He's not our judgment's sufficient, your Honour.
Pontius Pilate:
If it is, why bring him to me?
Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your own laws.
Chief Priests:
We already have, your Honour.
Pontius Pilate:
What is your sentence?
Chief Priests:
We found him worthy of death, your Honour.
But it is not lawful for us to put any man to death.
Take our word for his guilt, your Honour, and sign a death warrant.
