Context of Luke 23:3

1Then the entire assembly stood up and took him to Pilate. 2They began to accuse Jesus by saying, “We found that he stirs up trouble among our people: He keeps them from paying taxes to the emperor, and he says that he is Christ, a king.” Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “Yes, I am,” Jesus answered. 4Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, “I can’t find this man guilty of any crime.” 5The priests and the crowd became more forceful. They said, “He stirs up the people throughout Judea with his teachings. He started in Galilee and has come here.”
