unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith
unto them, I find in him no fault
at all.
39
But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one
at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40
Then cried they
all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
CHAPTER 19
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged
him.
2
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns,
and put
it
on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
3
And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and
they smote him with their hands.
4
Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold,
I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
5
Then came Jesus forth,
wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And
Pilate
saith unto them, Behold the man!
6
When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify
him,
crucify
him.
Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify
him:
for I find no fault in him.
7
The Jews
answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son
of God.
8
When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
9
And went again into the
judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10
Then saith
Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee,
and have power to release thee?
11
Jesus answered,
Thou couldest have no power
at all
against me,
except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
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.
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.
14
And it was the preparation
of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
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.
16
Then delivered he him
therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led
him
away.
17
And he bearing his
cross went forth into a place called
the place
of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
18
Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19
And Pilate wrote a title, and put
it
on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20
This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was
crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew,
and
Greek,
and
Latin.
21
Then said
the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King
of the Jews.
22
Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
