John 19:5-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁵ Jesus then came out, ^(A)wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate *said to them, “Behold, the Man!” ⁶ So when the chief priests and the ^(B)officers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate *said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for ^(C)I find no guilt in Him.” ⁷ The Jews answered him, “^(D)We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He ^(E)made Himself out to be the Son of God.”

⁸ Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid; ⁹ and he ^(F)entered into the ^[a]Praetorium again and *said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But ^(G)Jesus gave him no answer. ¹⁰ So Pilate *said to Him, “You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?” ¹¹ Jesus answered, “^(H)You would have no authority ^[b]over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason ^(I)he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.” ¹² As a result of this Pilate ^[c]made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, “^(J)If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king ^[d]opposes Caesar.”

¹³ Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and ^(K)sat down on the judgment seat at a place called ^[e]The Pavement, but ^(L)in ^[f]Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ Now it was ^(M)the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the ^[g](N)sixth hour. And he *said to the Jews, “Behold, ^(O)your King!” ¹⁵ So they cried out, “^(P)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 So he then ^(Q)handed Him over to them to be crucified.
