John 19:9-11

Christian Standard Bible

⁹ He went back into the headquarters^(A) and asked Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.^{(B) 10} So Pilate said to him, “Do you refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know that I have the authority to release you and the authority to crucify you?”

¹¹ “You would have no authority over me at all,” Jesus answered him, “if it hadn’t been given you from above. This is why the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.”^(C)
