1
Pilatos receives a message from his wife warning him to have nothing to do with the righteous man because she suffered greatly in a dream concerning him.
2
The accusers answer that Yahushua has influenced her by sorcery. Pilatos questions Yahushua, who refuses to defend himself by empty speech and leaves his accusers responsible for their words.
3
Some leaders charge that Yahushua was born unlawfully and that his birth brought danger upon Beit-Lechem. Other Yehudim present reject this accusation and testify that Yoseph and Miryam were properly betrothed.

Pilatos separates witnesses, questions them, and finds that the accusation concerning Yahushua's birth is disputed even among those bringing the case.
