14 Now (A)it 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, (B)“We have no king but Caesar!”

16 (C)Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. Then they took Jesus [a]and led Him away.

The King on a Cross(D)

17 (E)And He, bearing His cross, (F)went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, 18 where they crucified Him, and (G)two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center. 19 (H)Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was:

JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
