John 19:10 CPDV

⁸  Therefore, when Pilate had heard this word, he was more fearful.

⁹  And he entered into the praetorium again. And he said to Jesus. 'Where are you from?' But Jesus gave him no response.

¹⁰  Therefore, Pilate said to him: 'Will you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to crucify you, and I have authority to release you?'

¹¹  Jesus responded, 'You would not have any authority over me, unless it were given to you from above. For this reason, he who has handed me over to you has the greater sin.'

¹²  And from then on, Pilate was seeking to release him. But the Jews were crying out, saying: 'If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. For anyone who makes himself a king contradicts Caesar.'
