And immediately in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
Jesus brought bound, and accused before Pilate15 Upon the clamour of the common people, the murderer Barabbas is loosed, and Jesus delivered up to be crucified17 He is crowned with thorns, 19 spit on, and mocked: 21fainteth in bearing his cross: 27 hangeth between two thieves: 29 suffereth the triumphing reproaches of the Jews: 39 but confessed by the centurion to be the Son of God: 43and is honourably buried by Joseph.
It was customary with the Jews to bind and deliver over to the Roman governors those whom they had condemned in their own councils; but we must not suppose that this was the first time they bound Jesus; for, as St. John informs us, when first they apprehended him, they put manacles upon him. (Ven. Bede)
