John 19:12-16

1. 12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

2. 13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

3. 14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

4. 15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

5. 16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
