John 19:11 in Context — John 19

9 Il rentra dans le prétoire, et il dit à Jésus: D’où es-tu? Mais Jésus ne lui donna point de réponse.

10 Pilate lui dit: Est-ce à moi que tu ne parles pas? Ne sais-tu pas que j’ai le pouvoir de te crucifier, et que j’ai le pouvoir de te relâcher?

11 Jésus répondit: Tu n’aurais sur moi aucun pouvoir, s’il ne t’avait été donné d’en haut. C’est pourquoi celui qui me livre à toi commet un plus grand péché.

12 Dès ce moment, Pilate cherchait à le relâcher. Mais les Juifs criaient: Si tu le relâches, tu n’es pas ami de César. Quiconque se fait roi se déclare contre César.

13 Pilate, ayant entendu ces paroles, amena Jésus dehors; et il s’assit sur le tribunal, au lieu appelé le Pavé, et en hébreu Gabbatha.
