John 1828-31

• Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas
  to the Praetorium, and it was early
  morning. But they themselves did not go into the
  Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that
  they might eat the Passover. 29 Pilate then went
  out to them and said, What accusation do you
  bring against this Man? 30 They answered and
  said to him, If He were not an evildoer, we
  would not have delivered Him up to you. 31 Then
  Pilate said to them, You take Him and judge Him
  according to your law. Therefore the Jews said
  to him, It is not lawful for us to put anyone to
  death.

John 1913-16

• When Pilate therefore heard that
  saying, he brought Jesus out and sat
  down in the judgment seat in a place
  that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew,
  Gabbatha. 14 Now it was the Preparation Day of
  the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he
  said to the Jews, "Behold your King!" 15 But they
  cried out, "Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify
  Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your
  King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no
  king but Caesar!" 16 Then he delivered Him to
  them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led
  Him away.

John 1912-15

• From then on Pilate sought to release
  Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If
  you let this Man go, you are not Caesar's
  friend. Whoever makes himself a king
  speaks against Caesar." 13 When Pilate therefore
  heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat
  down in the judgment seat in a place that is
  called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14
  Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover,
  and about the sixth hour. And he said to the
  Jews, "Behold your King!" 15 But they cried out,
  "Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!"
  Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?"
  The chief priests answered, "We have no king but
  Caesar!"

1 Thessalonians 214-15

• For you, brethren, became imitators
  of the churches of God which are in
  Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the
  same things from your own countrymen, just as
  they did from the Judeans, 15 who killed both the
  Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have
  persecuted us and they do not please God and are
  contrary to all men.

Acts 222-23

• Men of Israel, hear these words Jesus of
  Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you
  by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did
  through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also
  know-- 23 Him, being delivered by the determined
  purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken
  by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to
  death.

Matthew 2637-39

• And He took with Him Peter and the
  two sons of Zebedee, and He began to
  be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He
  said to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful,
  even to death. Stay here and watch with Me. 39
  He went a little farther and fell on His face,
  and prayed, saying, O My Father, if it is
  possible, let this cup pass from Me
  nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.

Romans 323

• For all have sinned and fall short
  of the glory of God.
• Since none of us are exempt from the stain of
  sin, it can rightly be said that each of us
  individually are responsible for his death on the
  cross.

2 Peter 39

• The Lord is not slack concerning His promise,
  as some count slackness, but is
  longsuffering toward us, not willing that any
  should perish but that all should come to
  repentance.
• Despite being responsible for the death of our
  Lord, God gives each of us the opportunity to
  repent, and come to Him.
