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.

New Living Translation
12 Then Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders shouted, “If you release this man, you are no ‘friend of Caesar.’[a] Anyone who declares himself a king is a rebel against Caesar.”
13 When they said this, Pilate brought Jesus out to them again. Then Pilate sat down on the judgment seat on the platform that is called the Stone Pavement (in Hebrew, Gabbatha). 14 It was now about noon on the day of preparation for the Passover. And Pilate said to the people,[b] “Look, here is your king!”
15 “Away with him,” they yelled. “Away with him! Crucify him!”
“What? Crucify your king?” Pilate asked.
“We have no king but Caesar,” the leading priests shouted back.
16 Then Pilate turned Jesus over to them to be crucified.
The Crucifixion
So they took Jesus away.
