John 19:4–15

⁴Pilate therefore ^ewent forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that ^efI find no fault in him. ⁵Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! ⁶When the chief priests therefore and ^gofficers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for ^fI find no fault in him. ⁷The Jews answered him, ^hWe have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because ⁱhe made himself the Son of God.

⁸When Pilate therefore heard that saying, ^khe was the more afraid; ⁹And went ^lagain into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, ^mWhence art thou? But ⁿJesus gave him no answer. ¹⁰Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? ¹¹Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no ^opower at all against me, except it were ^pgiven thee ^qfrom above: therefore ^rhe that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. ¹²And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: ^swhosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. ¹³When Pilate therefore heard that saying, ^the brought Jesus forth, and sat down in ^uthe judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but ^win the Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴And it was ^xthe preparation of the passover, and about ^ythe sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, ^zBehold your King! ¹⁵But they cried out, ^zzAway with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, ^aWe have no king but Caesar.
