[19:8] When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid. [19:9] He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer. [19:10] Pilate therefore said to him, "Aren't you speaking to me? Don't you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?"
[19:11] Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin."
[19:12] At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this man, you aren't Caesar's friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!"
[19:13] When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called "The Pavement," but in Hebrew, "Gabbatha." [19:14] Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about [the sixth hour.] He said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"
[19:15] They cried out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!"
Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?"
The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"
[19:16] So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away. [19:17] He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called "The Place of a Skull," which is called in Hebrew, "Golgotha," [19:18] where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle. [19:19] Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS." [19:20] Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. [19:21] The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, "Don't write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'he said, I am King of the Jews.'"
[19:22] Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
[19:23] Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. [19:24] Then they said to one another, "Let's not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says,
