When Pilate heard that, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat at a place called the Stone Walkway. (In the Hebrew language it was called Gabbatha.)
Pilate also wanted to release Jesus because he’d gotten a message from his wife while he was judging the case. The message said, “Don’t do anything to that man. He’s innocent. I had a terrible nightmare about him last night.”
Let me tell you who you should be afraid of: the one who has the authority to throw you into hell after you’ve been killed. Yes, I tell you, be afraid of him.
