John 19:12-16
Legacy Standard Bible
12 As a result of this Pilate kept seeking to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, “(A)If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself to be a king [a]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 [b]The Stone Pavement, but (C)in [c]Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was (D)the day of [d]Preparation for the Passover; it was about the [e](E)sixth hour. And he *said to the Jews, “Behold, (F)your King!” 15 So they cried out, “(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 but Caesar.”
The Crucifixion
16 So he then (H)delivered Him over to them to be crucified.

John 19:12-16
Common English Bible
12 From that moment on, Pilate wanted to release Jesus.
However, the Jewish leaders cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t a friend of the emperor! Anyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes the emperor!”
13 When Pilate heard these words, he led Jesus out and seated him on the judge’s bench at the place called Stone Pavement (in Aramaic, Gabbatha). 14 It was about noon on the Preparation Day for the Passover. Pilate said to the Jewish leaders, “Here’s your king.”
15 The Jewish leaders cried out, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”
Pilate responded, “What? Do you want me to crucify your king?”
“We have no king except the emperor,” the chief priests answered. 16 Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified.
Crucifixion
