13. When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside. He sat down on the judge’s bench in a place called the Stone Pavement (but in Hebrew Gabbatha).

14. It was the preparation day for the Passover, and it was about six in the morning. Then he told the Jews, “Here is your king! ”

15. But they shouted, “Take Him away! Take Him away! Crucify Him! ”Pilate said to them, “Should I crucify your king? ”“We have no king but Caesar! ” the chief priests answered.

16. So then, because of them, he handed Him over to be crucified.Therefore they took Jesus away.

17. Carrying His own cross, He went out to what is called Skull Place, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.

18. There they crucified Him and two others with Him, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle.

19. Pilate also had a sign lettered and put on the cross. The inscription was:JESUS THE NAZARENETHE KING OF THE JEWS.
