*Behold, we are going up to Yerushalayim. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief Kohanim and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.
Pilate therefore said to them, *Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.* Therefore the Judeans said to him, *It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,*
At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Judeans cried out, saying, *If you release this man, you aren't Caesar's friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!*
The God of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Ya`akov, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Yeshua, whom you delivered up, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
