John 19:3-15

³and said, Hail, king of Jews. And they gave to him buffets.

⁴Again Pilate went out, and said to them, Lo! I bring him out to you, that ye know, that I find no cause in him.

⁵And so Jesus went out, bearing a crown of thorns, and a cloth of purple. And he saith to them, Lo! the man.

⁶But when the bishops and ministers had seen him, they cried, and said, Crucify, crucify him. Pilate saith to them, Take ye him, and crucify ye him, for I find no cause in him.

⁷The Jews answered to him, We have a law, and by the law he oweth to die, for he made him God’s Son.

⁸Therefore when Pilate had heard this word, he dreaded the more or he dreaded more.

⁹And he went into the moot hall again, and said to Jesus, Of whence art thou? But Jesus gave none answer to him.

¹⁰Pilate saith to him, Speakest thou not to me? Knowest thou not, that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to deliver thee?

¹¹Jesus answered, Thou shouldest not have any power against me, but it were given to thee from above; there-fore he that betook me to thee, hath the more sin.

¹²From that time Pilate sought to deliver him; but the Jews cried, and said, If thou deliverest this man, thou art not the emperor’s friend or the friend of Caesar; for each man that maketh himself king, gainsaith the emperor or against-saith Caesar.

¹³And Pilate, when he had heard these words, led Jesus forth, and sat for doomsman in a place, that is said Lycostratos, but in Hebrew Golgotha (or Gabbatha).

¹⁴And it was pask eve or the making ready, or even, of pask, as it were the sixth hour, or midday. And he saith to the Jews, Lo! your king.

¹⁵But they cried, and said, Take away, take away, or Do away, do away; crucify him. Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your king? The bishops answered, We have no king but the emperor or Caesar.
