you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
019:010 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?"
019:011 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."
019:012 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!"
019:013 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."
019:014 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth
hour.{noon} He said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"
019:015 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!"
019:016 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified.
So they took Jesus and led him away.
019:017 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called "The Place
of a Skull," which is called in Hebrew, "Golgotha,"
019:018 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either
side one, and Jesus in the middle.
019:019 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross.
There was written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
019:020 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.
019:021 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.'"
019:022 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
019:023 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.
019:024 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, "They parted my garments among them.
For my cloak they cast lots."{Psalm 22:18} Therefore the soldiers
did these things.
019:025 But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother,
and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas,
and Mary Magdalene.
019:026 Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom
he loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman,
behold your son!"
019:027 Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!"
From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
