John 19:12-16
English Standard Version
12 From then on (A)Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend.

John 19:12-16
International Standard Version
12 From then on, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders[a] kept shouting, “If you release this fellow, you’re not a friend of Caesar! Anyone who claims to be a king is defying Caesar!”
13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat in a place called The Pavement, which in Hebrew is called Gabbatha. 14 Now it was the Preparation Day for the Passover, about noon.[b] He told the Jewish leaders,[c] “Here is your king!”
15 Then they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”
Pilate asked them, “Should I crucify your king?”
The high priests responded, “We have no king but Caesar!” 16 Then Pilate[d] handed him over to be crucified, and they took Jesus away.
