12Hearing this, Pilate had a desire to let him go free, but the Jews said in a loud voice, If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend: everyone who makes himself a king goes against Caesar.
13So when these words came to Pilate's ear, he took Jesus out, seating himself in the judge's seat in a place named in Hebrew, Gabbatha, or the Stone Floor.
14(It was the day when they made ready for the Passover; and it was about the sixth hour.) And he said to the Jews, There is your King!
15Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar.
16So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away;
17And he went out with his cross on him to the place which is named Dead Man's Head (in Hebrew, Golgotha):
18Where they put him on the cross with two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.
