5Then Jesus came out with the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, Here is the man!
6So when the chief priests and the police saw him they gave a loud cry, To the cross! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and put him on the cross: I see no crime in him.
7And the Jews made answer, We have a law, and by that law it is right for him to be put to death because he said he was the Son of God.
8When this saying came to Pilate's ears his fear became greater;
9And he went again into the Praetorium and said to Jesus, Where do you come from? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10Then Pilate said to him, You say nothing to me? is it not clear to you that I have power to let you go free and power to put you to death on the cross?
11Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.
