John 19:2-17

21And the soldiersG4757 twistedG4120 together a crownG4735 of thornsG173 and putG2007 it on His headG2776, and putG2007 a purpleG4210 robeG2440 on Him; 3and they began to comeG2064 up to Him and sayG3004, “2HailG5463, KingG935 of the JewsG2453!” and to 3giveG1325 Him slapsG4475 in the face. 4PilateG4091 4cameG1831 out againG3825 and saidG3004 to them, “BeholdG2396, I am bringingG71 Him out to you soG2443 that you may knowG1097 that 5I findG2147 noG3762 guiltG156 in Him.” 5JesusG2424 thenG3767 cameG1831 out, 6wearingG5409 the crownG4735 of thornsG174 and the purpleG4210 robeG2440. Pilate saidG3004 to them, “BeholdG2400, the ManG444!” 6SoG3767 whenG3753 the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the 7officersG5257 sawG3708 Him, they criedG2905 out sayingG3004, “CrucifyG4717, crucifyG4717!” PilateG4091 saidG3004 to them, “TakeG2983 Him yourselvesG4771 and crucifyG4717 Him, for 8I findG2147 noG3756 guiltG156 in Him.” 7The JewsG2453 answeredG611 him, “9We haveG2192 a lawG3551, and by that lawG3551 He oughtG3784 to dieG599 becauseG3754 He 10madeG4160 HimselfG1438 out to be the SonG5207 of GodG2316.”

8ThereforeG3767 whenG3753 PilateG4091 heardG191 thisG3778 statementG3056, he was even moreG3123 afraidG5399; 9and he 11enteredG1525 into the 12PraetoriumG4232 againG3825 and saidG3004 to JesusG2424, “WhereG4159 are You from?” But 13JesusG2424 gaveG1325 him noG3756 answerG612. 10SoG3767 PilateG4091 saidG3004 to Him, “You do not speakG2980 to me? Do You not knowG3609 that I haveG2192 authorityG1849 to releaseG630 You, and I haveG2192 authorityG1849 to crucifyG4717 You?” 11JesusG2424 answeredG611, “14You would haveG2192 noG3756G3762 authorityG1849 15overG2596 Me, unlessG1487G3361 it had beenG1510 givenG1325 you from aboveG509; for thisG3778 reasonG1223 16he who deliveredG3860 Me to you hasG2192 the greaterG3173 sinG266.” 12As a resultG1537 of thisG3778 PilateG4091 17madeG2212 effortsG2212 to releaseG630 Him, but the JewsG2453 criedG2905 out sayingG3004, “18IfG1437 you releaseG630 thisG3778 ManG3778, you are noG3756 friendG5384 of CaesarG2541; everyoneG3956 who makesG4160 himselfG1438 out to be a kingG935 19opposesG483 CaesarG2541.”

13ThereforeG3767 when PilateG4091 heardG191 theseG3778 wordsG3056, he broughtG71 JesusG2424 out, and 20satG2523 downG2523 on the judgmentG968 seatG968 at a placeG5117 calledG3004 21The PavementG3038, but 22in 23HebrewG1447, GabbathaG1042. 14NowG1161 it was 24the dayG3904 of preparationG3904 for the PassoverG3957; it was aboutG5613 the 2526sixthG1623 hourG5610. And he saidG3004 to the JewsG2453, “BeholdG2396, 27your KingG935!” 15SoG3767 they criedG2905 out, “28AwayG142 with Him, awayG142 with Him, crucifyG4717 Him!” PilateG4091 saidG3004 to them, “Shall I crucifyG4717 your KingG935?” The chiefG749 priestsG749 answeredG611, “We haveG2192 noG3756 kingG935 but CaesarG2541.” 16SoG3767 he thenG5119 29handedG3860 Him over to them to be crucifiedG4717.

1730They tookG3880 JesusG2424, thereforeG3767, and He wentG1831 out, 3132bearingG941 His ownG1438 crossG4716, to the place calledG3004 33the PlaceG5117 of a SkullG2898, whichG3739 is calledG3004 34in 35HebrewG1447, GolgothaG1115.
