Power » There being no power other than God
Pilate said to him, Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and I have power to crucify you? Jesus answered, You would have had no power against me if it had not been given you from above; therefore he that delivered me to you has a greater sin.
Let every soul be subject to the superior powers. For there is no power except from God, and the [powers] which exist have been ordained by God. So that he who resists the power resists the ordinance of God; and those who resist shall receive judgment on themselves.
