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.”
