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