John 19:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ He went back inside and asked Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus did not answer.

¹⁰ “Why won't you answer my question?” Pilate asked. “Don't you know I have the power to let you go free or to nail you to a cross?”

^11 (A) Jesus replied, “If God had not given you the power, you couldn't do anything at all to me. But the one who handed me over to you did something even worse.”
