19:8 When Pilate heard what they said, 1 he was more afraid than ever, 2 19:9 and he went back into the governor’s residence 3 and said to Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 19:10 So Pilate said, 4 “Do you refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know I have the authority 5 to release you, and to crucify you?” 6 19:11 Jesus replied, “You would have no authority 7 over me at all, unless it was given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you 8 is guilty of greater sin.” 9
