First trial before Pilate
Lk 23:1-4
The council dared not open with a complaint about Jesus having violated their law by claiming to be God's Son. Pilate would have thrown them out immediately. So they started instead by claiming that Jesus was setting himself up as a rival to Caesar's authority. When Pilate asks, Jesus basically shrugs and says: Sure.
And Pilate is less than impressed with the threat he represents.
