John 19:15-22

English Standard Version

¹⁵ They cried out, ^(A)“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.” ^16 (B)So he ^(C)delivered him over to them to be crucified.

The Crucifixion

So they took Jesus, ¹⁷ and ^(D)he went out, ^(E)bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. ^18 (F)There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. ¹⁹ Pilate ^(G)also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” ²⁰ Many of the Jews read this inscription, for ^(H)the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek. ²¹ So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’” ²² Pilate answered, ^(I)“What I have written I have written.”
