43:018:037 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou
a king then? Jesus
answered,
Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was
I
born,
and for this cause came I into the world, that I should
bear
witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the
truth
heareth
my voice.
43:018:038 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth?
And when he had said
this,
he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them,
I
find
in him no fault at all.
43:018:039 But ye have a custom, that I should release
unto you one at
the
passover: will ye therefore that I release unto
you the
King
of the Jews?
43:018:040 Then cried they all again, saying, Not
this man, but Barabbas.
Now
Barabbas was a robber.
43:019:001 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
43:019:002 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns,
and put it on his
head,
and they put on him a purple robe,
43:019:003 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they
smote him with
their
hands.
43:019:004 Pilate therefore went forth again, and
saith unto them,
Behold,
I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find
no
fault in him.
43:019:005 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown
of thorns, and the
purple
robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
43:019:006 When the chief priests therefore and officers
saw him, they
cried
out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate
saith unto
them,
Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault
in
him.
43:019:007 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and
by our law he ought
to
die, because he made himself the Son of God.
43:019:008 When Pilate therefore heard that saying,
he was the more
afraid;
43:019:009 And went again into the judgment hall,
and saith unto Jesus,
Whence
art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
43:019:010 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou
not unto me? knowest
thou
not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power
to
release
thee?
43:019:011 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power
at all against me,
except
it were given thee from above: therefore he that
delivered
me unto thee hath the greater sin.
43:019:012 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release
him: but the
Jews
cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art
not
Caesar’s
friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh
against
Caesar.
43:019:013 When Pilate therefore heard that saying,
he brought Jesus
forth,
and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is
called
the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
