John 19:11-13

Living Bible

¹¹ Then Jesus said, “You would have no power at all over me unless it were given to you from above. So those^[a] who brought me to you have the greater sin.”

¹² Then Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders told him, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar’s. Anyone who declares himself a king is a rebel against Caesar.”

¹³ At these words Pilate brought Jesus out to them again and sat down at the judgment bench on the stone-paved platform.^[b]
