Jesus Affirms Divine Authority

John 19:11-16
11
Yeshua answered, “You would have no power over me if it hadn’t been given to you from above; this is why the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”
12
On hearing this, Pilate tried to find a way to set him free; but the Judeans shouted, “If you set this man free, it means you’re not a ‘Friend of the Emperor’! Everyone who claims to be a king is opposing the Emperor!”
13
When Pilate heard what they were saying, he brought Yeshua outside and sat down on the judge’s seat in the place called The Pavement (in Aramaic, Gabta);
14
it was about noon on Preparation Day for Pesach. He said to the Judeans, “Here’s your king!”
15
They shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Put him to death on the stake!” Pilate said to them, “You want me to execute your king on a stake?” The head cohanim answered, “We have no king but the Emperor.”
16
Then Pilate handed Yeshua over to them to have him put to death on the stake. So they took charge of Yeshua.
