John - ch 19 v 1 - 20
- Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
- And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment;
- and they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands.
- And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him.
- Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And `Pilate' saith unto them, Behold, the man!
- When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify `him', crucify `him'! Pilate saith unto them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him.
- The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
- When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid;
- and he entered into the Praetorium again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
- Pilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?
- Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin.
- Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
- 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.
- Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King!
- They therefore cried out, Away with `him', away with `him', crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
- Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified.
- They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha:
- where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
- And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
- This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, `and' in Latin, `and' in Greek.
