When Pilate heard this, he was more frightened than ever.
When they said this, Pilate brought Jesus out to them again. Then Pilate sat down on the judgment seat on the platform that is called the Stone Pavement (in Hebrew, Gabbatha).
The Jewish leaders replied, “By our law he ought to die because he called himself the Son of God.”
He took Jesus back into the headquarters again and asked him, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave no answer.
