## John 19:7-8 in Context (Verses 4–11 KJV)
 
 [4 ](/kjv/john/19/4) Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/john/19/5) Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And *Pilate* saith unto them, Behold the man!
 
 [6 ](/kjv/john/19/6) When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify *him*, crucify *him*. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify *him*: for I find no fault in him.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/john/19/7) The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/john/19/8) ¶ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
 
 [9 ](/kjv/john/19/9) And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/john/19/10) Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
 
 [11 ](/kjv/john/19/11) Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power *at all* against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
