John 19:8-11

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁸ Therefore when Pilate heard that word, he was the more afraid

⁹ and went again into the judgment hall and said unto Jesus, Where art thou from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

¹⁰ Then Pilate said unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee {Gr. stauroo – hang thee on a stake} and have power to release thee?

¹¹ Jesus answered, Thou could have no power at all against me, unless it were given thee from above; therefore he that delivered me unto thee has the greater sin.
