John 18:38 thru 19:16 ESV Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, "I find no guilt in him. (39) But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" (40) They cried out again, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
John 19:1-16 ESV Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him. (2) And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. (3) They came up to him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and struck him with their hands. (4) Pilate went out again and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him." (5) So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold the man!" (6) When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him." (7) The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God." (8) When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid. (9) He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer. (10) So Pilate said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?" (11) Jesus answered him, "You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin." (12) From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar." (13) So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic Gabbatha. (14) Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold your King!" (15) 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." (16) So he delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus,
John 18:38 thru 19:16 GW Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After Pilate said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, "I don't find this man guilty of anything. (39) You have a custom that I should free one person for you at Passover. Would you like me to free the king of the Jews for you?" (40) The Jews shouted again, "Don't free this man! Free Barabbas!" (Barabbas was a political revolutionary.)
John 19:1-16 GW Then Pilate had Jesus taken away and whipped. (2) The soldiers twisted some thorny branches into a crown, placed it on his head, and put a purple cape on him. (3) They went up to him, said, "Long live the king of the Jews!" and slapped his face. (4) Pilate went outside again and told the Jews, "I'm bringing him out to you to let you know that I don't find this man guilty of anything." (5) Jesus went outside. He was wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cape. Pilate said to the Jews, "Look, here's the man!" (6) When the chief priests and the guards saw Jesus, they shouted, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" Pilate told them, "You take him and crucify him. I don't find this man guilty of anything." (7) The Jews answered Pilate, "We have a law, and by that law he must die because he claimed to be the Son of God." (8) When Pilate heard them say that, he became more afraid than ever. (9) He went into the palace again and asked Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus didn't answer him. (10) So Pilate said to Jesus, "Aren't you going to answer me? Don't you know that I have the authority to free you or to crucify you?" (11) Jesus answered Pilate, "You wouldn't have any authority over me if it hadn't been given to you from above. That's why the man who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin." (12) When Pilate heard what Jesus said, he wanted to free him. But the Jews shouted, "If you free this man, you're not a friend of the emperor. Anyone who claims to be a king is defying the emperor." (13) When Pilate heard what they said, he took Jesus outside and sat on the judge's seat in a place called Stone Pavement. (In Hebrew it is called Gabbatha.) (14) The time was about six o'clock in the morning on the Friday of the Passover festival. Pilate said to the Jews, "Look, here's your king!" (15) Then the Jews shouted, "Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!" Pilate asked them, "Should I crucify your king?" The chief priests responded, "The emperor is the only king we have!" (16) Then Pilate handed Jesus over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took Jesus.
John 18:38 thru 19:16 GNB "And what is truth?" Pilate asked. Then Pilate went back outside to the people and said to them, "I cannot find any reason to condemn him. (39) But according to the custom you have, I always set free a prisoner for you during the Passover. Do you want me to set free for you the king of the Jews?" (40) They answered him with a shout, "No, not him! We want Barabbas!" (Barabbas was a bandit.)
John 19:1-16 GNB Then Pilate took Jesus and had him whipped. (2) The soldiers made a crown out of thorny branches and put it on his head; then they put a purple robe on him (3) and came to him and said, "Long live the King of the Jews!" And they went up and slapped him. (4) Pilate went back out once more and said to the crowd, "Look, I will bring him out here to you to let you see that I cannot find any reason to condemn him." (5) So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Look! Here is the man!" (6) When the chief priests and the Temple guards saw him, they shouted, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "You take him, then, and crucify him. I find no reason to condemn him." (7) The crowd answered back, "We have a law that says he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God." (8) When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid. (9) He went back into the palace and asked Jesus, "Where do you come from?" But Jesus did not answer. (10) Pilate said to him, "You will not speak to me? Remember, I have the authority to set you free and also to have you crucified." (11) Jesus answered, "You have authority over me only because it was given to you by God. So the man who handed me over to you is guilty of a worse sin." (12) When Pilate heard this, he tried to find a way to set Jesus free. But the crowd shouted back, "If you set him free, that means that you are not the Emperor's friend! Anyone who claims to be a king is a rebel against the Emperor!" (13) When Pilate heard these words, he took Jesus outside and sat down on the judge's seat in the place called "The Stone Pavement." (In Hebrew the name is "Gabbatha.") (14) It was then almost noon of the day before the Passover. Pilate said to the people, "Here is your king!" (15) They shouted back, "Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!" Pilate asked them, "Do you want me to crucify your king?" The chief priests answered, "The only king we have is the Emperor!" (16) Then Pilate handed Jesus over to them to be crucified. So they took charge of Jesus.
