John 19:5-16 - Pilate Sentences Jesus To Death
5 Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, Behold the man!
6 Then when the chief priests and under-officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, Crucify! Crucify Him! Pilate said to them, You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in him.
7 The Jews answered him, We have a Law, and by our Law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 Then when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid. 9 And he went again into the praetorium and said to Jesus, Where are you from? But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Then Pilate said to him, Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to crucify you, and I have authority to release you?
11 Jesus answered, You could have no authority against Me unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.
12 From this time, Pilate sought to release Him. But the Jews cried out, saying, If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.
13 Then when Pilate heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat at a place called the Pavement (but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha). 14 And it was the preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, Behold your king!
15 But they cried out, Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him! Pilate said to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16 Then he delivered Him up to them that He might be crucified. And they took Jesus and led Him away.
