Yochanan 19:7-20 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

7. The Judeans answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”

8. When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.

9. He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Yeshua, “Where are you from?” But Yeshua gave him no answer.

10. Pilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?”

11. Yeshua answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”

12. At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Judeans cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”

13. When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Yeshua out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement”, but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”

14. Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Judeans, “Behold, your King!”

15. They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!”Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?”The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”

16. So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Yeshua and led him away.

17. He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”,

18. where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Yeshua in the middle.

19. Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “YESHUA OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

20. Therefore many of the Judeans read this title, for the place where Yeshua was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
