11 “You would have no authority over Me at all,” Jesus answered him, “if it hadn’t been given you from above. This is why the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin.”
12 From that moment Pilate made every effort to release Him. But the Jews shouted, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. Anyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar! ”
13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside. He sat down on the judge’s bench in a place called the Stone Pavement (but in Hebrew Gabbatha).
14 It was the preparation day for the Passover, and it was about six in the morning. Then he told the Jews, “Here is your king! ”
15 But they shouted, “Take Him away! Take Him away! Crucify Him! ”Pilate said to them, “Should I crucify your king? ”“We have no king but Caesar! ” the chief priests answered.
16 So then, because of them, he handed Him over to be crucified.Therefore they took Jesus away.
17 Carrying His own cross, He went out to what is called Skull Place, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
