John 19:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ Pilate said [^Lto him], “You refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know I have ·power [authority] to ·set you free [release you] and ·power [authority] to have you crucified?”

¹¹ Jesus answered [him], “The only ·power [authority] you have over me is the ·power [authority] given to you ·by God [^Lfrom above]. The man who ·turned me in to you [betrayed me; ^CCaiaphas or perhaps Judas] is guilty of a greater sin.”

¹² ·After this [or For this reason], Pilate tried to let Jesus go. But ·some in the crowd [^Lthe Jews] ·cried out [shouted], “Anyone who makes himself king ·is against [opposes] Caesar [^Cthe Roman emperor]. If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar.”
