For this cause, Pilate, began seeking to release him; but, the Jews, cried aloud saying - If this man thou release, thou art not a friend of Caesar, for, every one who maketh himself king, speaketh against Caesar.

Pilate, therefore, when he heard these words, led Jesus outside, and sat down upon a raised seat, in a place called Pavement, but, in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

Now it was the preparation of the passover, - it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews - See! your King!

Then, therefore, he delivered him up unto them, that he might be crucified. They took possession, therefore, of Jesus.
