Then Pilate's soldiers took Jesus into the governor's palace, and the whole company gathered around him.

Early in the morning Jesus was taken from Caiaphas' house to the governor's palace. The Jewish authorities did not go inside the palace, for they wanted to keep themselves ritually clean, in order to be able to eat the Passover meal.

He went back into the palace and asked Jesus, "Where do you come from?" But Jesus did not answer.
