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?"
11 Jesus replied, "You would have no authority over me if it had not been given to you from above. That’s why the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin."
