priests and officers saw
him, they cried, saying, Crucify him! crucify him! Pilate said to them,
Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.
[19:7]The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to
die because he made himself the Son of God.

4 [19:8]When therefore Pilate heard this charge he was more afraid,
[19:9]and entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, Whence
are you? But Jesus gave him no answer. [19:10]Pilate said to him, Do
you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you,
and I have power to crucify you? [19:11]Jesus answered, You would have
had no power against me if it had not been given you from above;
therefore he that delivered me to you has a greater sin.

5 [19:12]From that time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews
cried, saying, If you release this man you are not a friend of Caesar;
every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar. [19:13]Then
Pilate hearing these words led Jesus out, and sat on the tribunal, in a
place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. [19:14]And it was
the preparation of the passover, it was about the sixth hour [noon];
and he said to the Jews, Behold your king! [19:15]Then 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. [19:16]Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified.

CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION, DEATH, AND BURIAL.

1 [19:17]THEN they took Jesus, and putting the cross on him he went out
to what is called the place of a cranium, which in Hebrew is called
Golgotha, [19:18] where they crucified him, and two others with him,
one on one side and the other on the other, and Jesus between.
[19:19]And Pilate wrote an inscription and put on the cross. And it was
written, JESUS THE NAZORAEAN, THE KING OF THE JEWS. [19:20]Many of the
Jews therefore read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was
crucified was nigh the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and
Greek. [19:21]Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write
not, The King of the Jews, but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
[19:22]Pilate answered, what I have written I have written.

2 [19:23]Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took his clothes
and made four parts, a part to each soldier, and his coat. But his coat
was without seam, woven from the top thro
