When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid.
When Pilate heard these words, he took Jesus outside and sat down on the judge's seat in the place called “The Stone Pavement.” (In Hebrew the name is “Gabbatha.”)
The crowd answered back, “We have a law that says he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
He went back into the palace and asked Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But Jesus did not answer.
