14. It was then almost noon of the day before the Passover. Pilate said to the people, “Here is your king!”
15. They shouted back, “Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!”Pilate asked them, “Do you want me to crucify your king?”The chief priests answered, “The only king we have is the Emperor!”
16. Then Pilate handed Jesus over to them to be crucified.So they took charge of Jesus.
17. He went out, carrying his cross, and came to “The Place of the Skull”, as it is called. (In Hebrew it is called “Golgotha”.)
18. There they crucified him; and they also crucified two other men, one on each side, with Jesus between them.
19. Pilate wrote a notice and had it put on the cross. “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews”, is what he wrote.
20. Many people read it, because the place where Jesus was crucified was not far from the city. The notice was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
