The Jews answered him: We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. When Pilate heard this he was more afraid. He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus: Where are you from? But Jesus gave him no answer. Pilate said: Will you not speak to me? Do you know I have the power to release you and the power to impale you? Jesus answered him: You would have no power against me except it was given you from above. Therefore he that delivered me to you has greater sin. As a result of this Pilate sought to release him. The Jews cried out: If you release this man you are not Caesar's friend.
