5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
6 When the leading priests and the guards saw Jesus, they shouted, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”But Pilate answered, “Crucify him yourselves, because I find nothing against him.”
7 The leaders answered, “We have a law that says he should die, because he said he is the Son of God.”
8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid.
9 He went back inside the palace and asked Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But Jesus did not answer him.
10 Pilate said, “You refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know I have power to set you free and power to have you crucified?”
11 Jesus answered, “The only power you have over me is the power given to you by God. The man who turned me in to you is guilty of a greater sin.”
