Then said Pilate, "Take him yourselves, and sentence him according to your own Law." The Jews said, "We have no right to put anyone to death"
Then they yelled, "Off with him! Off with him! Crucify him!" "Crucify your king?" said Pilate. The high priests retorted, "We have no king but Caesar!"
They retorted, "If he had not been a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you."
(that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, by which he had indicated the kind of death he was to die).
