14 It was about noon on the Preparation Day for the Passover. Pilate said to the Jewish leaders, "Here’s your king."
15 The Jewish leaders cried out, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" Pilate responded, "What? Do you want me to crucify your king?" "We have no king except the emperor," the chief priests answered.
16 Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified. The soldiers took Jesus prisoner.
17 Carrying his cross by himself, he went out to a place called Skull Place (in Aramaic, Golgotha).
18 That’s where they crucified him—and two others with him, one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate had a public notice written and posted on the cross. It read "Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews."
20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city and it was written in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek.
