John 19:6-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶ When the chief priests and the temple police saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”

Pilate responded, “Take Him and crucify Him yourselves, for I find no grounds for charging Him.”

⁷ “We have a law,” the Jews replied to him, “and according to that law He must die,^(A) because He made Himself^[a] the Son of God.”^(B)

⁸ When Pilate heard this statement, he was more afraid than ever.
