John 19:15

Pontius

13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.

14 It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about the sixth hour. And Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”

At this, they shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” “Shall I crucify your King?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” replied the chief priests.

16 Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, and the soldiers took Him away.

17 Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
