John 19:5-16

5(Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man!

6When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him they cried out saying, Crucify, crucify [him]. Pilate says to them, Take him ye and crucify [him], for I find no fault in him.

7The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to [our] law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of 1God.

8When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,

9and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

10Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to me? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?

11Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has [the] greater sin.

12From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this [man], thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar.

13Pilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down upon [the] judgment-seat, at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha;

14(now it was [the] preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour;) and he says to the Jews, Behold your king!

15But they cried out, Take [him] away, take [him] away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

16Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.
