The Gospel of John

11. Jesus answered, "You would have no authority over me if it had not been given to you from above; therefore greater sin is on him who delivered me to you.

12. From that time on, Pilate sought to let him go. And the Jews cried out, "If thou wilt let Him go, thou art no friend of Caesar; Everyone who makes himself a king is an opponent of Caesar.

13. When Pilate heard this word, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat, in a place called Lythostroton, or in Hebrew Gabbatha.

14. Then was the Friday before the Passover, and the sixth hour. And Pilate said to the Jews, Behold, your King!

15. But they cried out, "Take, take, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your king? And the chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

16. Then at last he delivered Him up to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away.

17. And bearing his cross, he went out to a place called Golgotha in Hebrew;

18. there they crucified him and two others with him, on both sides, and in the midst of Jesus.

19. And Pilate also wrote the inscription, and put it on the cross. And it was written, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.

20. This inscription was read by many of the Jews, because the place where Jesus was crucified was not far from the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Roman.

21. And the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, King of the Jews, but that he said, I am the King of the Jews."

22. Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

23. And the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and divided him into four parts, each soldier a part, and a tunic; The tunic was not sewn, but all woven on top.

24. So they said to one another, "Let us not tear him asunder, but let us cast lots for him, whose it will be, that it may be fulfilled that which is spoken in the Scriptures: They have divided my garments among themselves, and have cast lots for my garments." This is what the soldiers did.
