John 19:8-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid. ⁹ He went back inside the palace again and asked Jesus, “Where are you from?”

But Jesus gave him no answer.

¹⁰ So Pilate asked him, “Are you not talking to me? Don’t you know that I have the authority to release you or to crucify you?”

¹¹ Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over me at all if it had not been given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.”
