John 19:6-8

Tree of Life Version

⁶ When the ruling kohanim and officers saw Him, they yelled out, “Execute Him! Execute Him!”^[a]

Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves and execute Him! For I don’t find a case against Him.”

⁷ The Judean leaders answered him, “We have a law,^[b] and according to the Torah He must die, because He claimed to be Ben-Elohim!”

⁸ When Pilate heard this word, he became even more fearful.
