John 19:1-16

1SoG3767 PilateG4091 thenG5119 tookG2983 JesusG2424 and 12had Him floggedG3146. 23And the soldiersG4757 twistedG4120 togetherG4120 a crownG4735 of thornsG173 and placedG2007 it onG2007 His headG2776, and putG4016 a purpleG4210 4cloakG2440 onG4016 Him; 3and they repeatedly cameG2064 up to Him and saidG3004, “5HailG5463, KingG935 of the JewsG2453!” and 6slappedG1325G4475 Him in the faceG4475 again and again. 4And then PilateG4091 7cameG1831 outG1831 againG3825 and saidG3004 to them, “SeeG2396, I am bringingG71 Him out to you soG2443 thatG2443 you will knowG1097 that 8I findG2147 noG3762 groundsG156 atG3762 allG3762 for chargesG156 in 9His case.” 5JesusG2424 thenG3767 cameG1831 outG1831, 10wearingG5409 the crownG4735 of thornsG174 and the purpleG4210 robeG2440. And Pilate saidG3004 to them, “BeholdG2400, the ManG444!” 6SoG3767 whenG3753 the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the 11officersG5257 sawG3708 Him, they shoutedG2905, sayingG3004, “CrucifyG4717, crucifyG4717!” PilateG4091 saidG3004 to them, “TakeG2983 Him yourselvesG4771 and crucifyG4717 Him; for 12I findG2147 noG3756 groundsG156 forG156 chargesG156 in 13His case!” 7The JewsG2453 answeredG611 him, “14We haveG2192 a lawG3551, and by that lawG3551 He oughtG3784 to dieG599, becauseG3754 He 15madeG4160 HimselfG1438 out to be the SonG5207 of GodG2316!”

8ThereforeG3767 whenG3753 PilateG4091 heardG191 thisG3778 statementG3056, he wasG5399 even moreG3123 afraidG5399; 9and he 16enteredG1525 the 17PraetoriumG4232 againG3825 and saidG3004 to JesusG2424, “WhereG4159 are You from?” But 18JesusG2424 gaveG1325 him noG3756 answerG612. 10SoG3767 PilateG4091 saidG3004 to Him, “Are you not speakingG2980 to me? Do You not knowG3609 that I haveG2192 authorityG1849 to releaseG630 You, and I haveG2192 authorityG1849 to crucifyG4717 You?” 11JesusG2424 answeredG611 him, “19You would haveG2192 noG3756G3762 authorityG1849 20overG2596 Me atG3762 allG3762, ifG1487 it had not beenG1510 givenG1325 to you from aboveG509; for thisG3778 reasonG1223 21the one who handedG3860 Me overG3860 to you hasG2192 the greaterG3173 sinG266.” 12As a resultG1537 of thisG3778, PilateG4091 22madeG2212 effortsG2212 to releaseG630 Him; but the JewsG2453 shoutedG2905, sayingG3004, “23IfG1437 you releaseG630 thisG3778 ManG3778, you are not a friendG5384 of CaesarG2541; everyoneG3956 who makesG4160 himselfG1438 out to be a kingG935 24opposesG483 CaesarG2541!”

13ThereforeG3767 when PilateG4091 heardG191 theseG3778 wordsG3056, he broughtG71 JesusG2424 out, and 25satG2523 downG2523 on the judgmentG968 seatG968 at a placeG5117 calledG3004 26The PavementG3038--but 27in 28HebrewG1447, GabbathaG1042. 14NowG1161 it was 29the dayG3904 ofG3904 preparationG3904 for the PassoverG3957; it was aboutG5613 the 3031sixthG1623 hourG5610. And he saidG3004 to the JewsG2453, “LookG2396, 32your KingG935!” 15SoG3767 they shoutedG2905, “33AwayG142 with Him, awayG142 with Him, crucifyG4717 Him!” PilateG4091 saidG3004 to them, “Shall I crucifyG4717 your KingG935?” The chiefG749 priestsG749 answeredG611, “We haveG2192 noG3756 kingG935 exceptG1487G3361 CaesarG2541.” 16SoG3767 he thenG5119 34handedG3860 Him overG3860 to them to be crucifiedG4717.
