John 19:9-19

⁹And he entered into the hall again, and he said to Jesus: Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

¹⁰Pilate therefore saith to him: Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release thee?

¹¹Jesus answered: Thou shouldst not have any power against me, unless it were given thee from above. Therefore, he that hath delivered me to thee, hath the greater sin.

¹²And from henceforth Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar’s friend. For whosoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against Caesar.

¹³Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha.

¹⁴And it was the parasceve of the pasch, about the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews: Behold your king.

¹⁵But they cried out: Away with him; away with him; crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar.

¹⁶Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him forth.

¹⁷And bearing his own cross, he went forth to that place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha.

¹⁸Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.

¹⁹And Pilate wrote a title also, and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
