9. and went back into the palace, and asked יהושע, “Where are You from?” But יהושע gave him no answer.
10. Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not speak to me? Do You not know that I possess authority to impale You, and I possess authority to release You?”
11. יהושע answered, “You would possess no authority against Me if it were not given you from above. Because of this, he who delivered Me to you has greater sin.”
12. From then on Pilate was seeking to release Him, but the Yehuḏim shouted, saying, “If you release this One, you are not Caesar’s friend. Everyone who makes himself a sovereign, does speak against Caesar.”
13. Therefore, when Pilate heard these words, he brought יהושע out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called Pavement, but in Heḇrew, Gabbatha.
14. And it was the Preparation Day of the Passover week, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Yehuḏim, “See your Sovereign!”
15. But they shouted, “Away, away, impale Him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I impale your Sovereign?” The chief priests answered, “We have no sovereign except Caesar!”
16. At that time, then, he delivered Him to them to be impaled. And they took יהושע and led Him away.
17. And bearing His stake, He went out to the so-called Place of a Skull, which is called in Heḇrew, Golgotha,
18. where they impaled Him, and two others with Him, one on this side and one on that side, and יהושע in the middle.
