John - ch 19 v 1 - 20
- Then therefore, Pilate took Jesus, and scourged him.
- And the soldiers platting a crown of thorns, put it upon his head; and they put on him a purple garment.
- And they came to him, and said: Hail, king of the Jews; and they gave him blows.
- Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith to them: Behold, I bring him forth unto you, that you may know that I find no cause in him.
- (Jesus therefore came forth, bearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment.) And he saith to them: Behold the Man.
- When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants, had seen him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause in him.
- The Jews answered him: We have a law; and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
- When Pilate therefore had heard this saying, he feared the more.
- And he entered into the hall again, and he said to Jesus: Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
- Pilate therefore saith to him: Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release thee?
- Jesus answered: Thou shouldst not have any power against me, unless it were given thee from above. Therefore, he that hath delivered me to thee, hath the greater sin.
- And from henceforth Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend. For whosoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against Caesar.
- Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha.
- And it was the parasceve of the pasch, about the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews: Behold your king.
- But they cried out: Away with him; away with him; crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar.
- Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him forth.
- And bearing his own cross, he went forth to that place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha.
- Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.
- And Pilate wrote a title also, and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
- This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.
