12 Because of this statement Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders shouted, "If you set this man free you’re not Caesar’s friend. Anyone who sets himself up as a king is rebelling against Caesar."
13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called Stone Pavement (Gabbatha in Hebrew). 14 It was around noon on the preparation day before the Passover.
"Look, here is your king," he said to the Jews.
15 "Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!" they screamed out.
"Do you want me to crucify your king?" Pilate asked.
"The only king we have is Caesar," the chief priests replied.
16 So he handed Jesus over to them to be crucified.
