4 Pilate then went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, cthat you may know that I find no fault in Him.”

5 Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!”

6 dTherefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!”

Pilate said to them, “You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him.”

7 The Jews answered him, e“We have a law, and according to 2our law He ought to die, because fHe made Himself the Son of God.”

8 Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid, 9 and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” gBut Jesus gave him no answer.

10 Then Pilate said to Him, “Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have 3power to crucify You, and 3power to release You?”

11 Jesus answered, h“You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore ithe one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”

12 From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. jWhoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”

13 kWhen Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now lit was the Preparation Day 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, m“We have no king but Caesar!”

16 nThen he delivered Him to them to be crucified. Then they took Jesus 4and led Him away.
