4 Pilate came out of the palace again and said to the Jewish leaders, "Look! I’m bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no grounds for a charge against him."
5 When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, "Here’s the man."
6 When the chief priests and their deputies saw him, they shouted out, "Crucify, crucify!" Pilate told them, "You take him and crucify him. I don’t find any grounds for a charge against him."
7 The Jewish leaders replied, "We have a Law, and according to this Law he ought to die because he made himself out to be God’s Son."
8 When Pilate heard this word, he was even more afraid.
9 He went back into the residence and spoke to Jesus, "Where are you from?" Jesus didn’t answer.
10 So Pilate said, "You won’t speak to me? Don’t you know that I have authority to release you and also to crucify you?"
