New Testament

John 19:4-10 English Standard Version (ESV)

4. Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him.”

5. So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!”

6. When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.”

7. The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God.”

8. When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid.

9. He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

10. So Pilate said to him, “You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?”
