8
When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid;
9
and he entered into the Praetorium again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10
Pilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?
11
Jesus answered him,
Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin.
12
Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
13
When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14
Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King!
15
They therefore cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16
Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified.
17
They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha:
18
where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
