John 19:8-11

International Standard Version

⁸ When Pilate heard this, he became even more afraid. ⁹ Returning to his headquarters,^[a] he asked Jesus, “Where are you from?”

But Jesus did not answer him.

¹⁰ So Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to speak to me? You realize, don’t you, that I have the authority to release you and the authority to crucify you?”

¹¹ Jesus answered him, “You have no authority over me at all, except what was given to you from above. That’s why the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”
