John 19:7-18

Jesus Delivered to Be Crucified

7 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and x according to that law he ought to die because y he has made himself the Son of God." 8 When Pilate heard this statement, z he was even more afraid. 9 a He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, b "Where are you from?" But c Jesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?" 11 Jesus answered him, d "You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore e he who delivered me over to you f has the greater sin."

12 From then on g Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. h Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar." 13 So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on i the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic 1 Gabbatha. 14 Now it was j the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. 2 He said to the Jews, k "Behold your King!" 15 They cried out, l "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

The Crucifixion

16 m So he n delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus, 17 and o he went out, p bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. 18 q There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.
