John 19:5-10

⁵(Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man!

⁶When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him they cried out saying, Crucify, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Take him ye and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.

⁷The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of God.

⁸When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,

⁹and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

¹⁰Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to me? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?
