Pilate chose twelve strong men to hold the standards when Jesus entered again.
2And walking upon the cloak, Jesus entered. Again the standards bent down and worshiped Jesus.
3When Pilate saw the scene, he was filled with fear and prepared to leave the tribunal.
4But his wife sent him this letter: 'Have nothing to do with that just man, for during the night I suffered much because of him.'
5The Jews answered Pilate: 'Did we not tell you that he is a magician? No doubt he sent a fantastic dream to your wife.'
6Pilate then called Jesus and said to him: 'How is it that these testify against you? Do you say nothing?'
7Jesus answered: 'If they had not the power for this, they would say nothing, for each one is master of his mouth to speak good things and bad.'
