And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

They started blaming Jesus, saying, "We discovered this man corrupting the country and stopping people from paying taxes to Caesar. He claims to be the only king, Christ himself."
