John 19:12-16
Christian Standard Bible
12 From that moment Pilate kept trying[a] to release him. But the Jews shouted, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. Anyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar!”
13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside. He sat down on the judge’s seat in a place called the Stone Pavement (but in Aramaic,[b] Gabbatha). 14 It was the preparation day for the Passover, and it was about noon.[c] Then he told the Jews, “Here is your king!”
15 They shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”
Pilate said to them, “Should I crucify your king?”
“We have no king but Caesar!” the chief priests answered.
16 Then he handed him over to be crucified.

New American Standard Bible
12 As a result of this, Pilate [a]made efforts to release Him; but the Jews shouted, saying, “(A)If you release this Man, you are not a friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king [b]opposes Caesar!”
13 Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and (B)sat down on the judgment seat at a place called [c]The Pavement—but (C)in [d]Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was (D)the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the [e](E)sixth hour. And he *said to the Jews, “Look, (F)your King!” 15 So they shouted, “(G)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 except Caesar.”
The Crucifixion
16 So he then (H)handed Him over to them to be crucified.
