Jesus had been flogged and was being mocked with a crown of thorns pressed into His head, and a purple robe over His torn skin. As Jesus was confronted by Pilate, He stood without answering the question: “Where are You from?”

(NASB) John 19:10-11 “So Pilate said to Him, “˜You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?”™

11 Jesus answered, “˜You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”™”

Jesus, the Son of God Who was there at creation ~ Genesis 1:1; John 1:1

Jesus, the Son of God Who was promised immediately after the sin of Adam and Eve ~ Genesis 3:15

Jesus, the Son of God Who would die for the sins of Pilate and of the world ~ John 3:16-17

Jesus, the Son of God Who would be resurrected ~ John 11:25-26

Pilate”™s power was limited to what he could do as authorized by Rome”¦

Jesus”™ power is unlimited as authorized by God the Father”¦

(NASB) John 11:25-26 “Jesus said”¦”˜I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,

26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”™”

Do you believe Jesus”™ words for yourself?

Pilate did not.
