Thematic Bible: Power of life and death vested in its authorities


Thematic Bible



So Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “We are not permitted to put anyone to death,”

But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?”

So Pilate *said to Him, “You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?”
