John 19:8

Weymouth NT

More alarmed than ever, Pilate no sooner heard these words than he re-entered the Praetorium and began to question Jesus.

See the chapter Copy

On hearing this, Pilate brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judge's seat in a place called the Pavement–or in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

»We,« replied the Jews, »have a Law, and in accordance with that Law he ought to die, for having claimed to be the Son of God.«

»What is your origin?« he asked. But Jesus gave him no answer.
