St. John 19:5-10 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

5. Then Jesus came forth, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said unto them, Behold the man!

6. When the princes of the priests and the servants saw him, they cried out, saying, crucify him, crucify him. {Gr. stauroo – hang him on a stake} Pilate said unto them, Take him, and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.

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.

8. Therefore when Pilate heard that word, he was the more afraid

9. and went again into the judgment hall and said unto Jesus, Where art thou from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

10. Then Pilate said unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee {Gr. stauroo – hang thee on a stake} and have power to release thee?
