She answered, “Declare that in Your kingdom one of these two sons of mine may sit at Your right hand, and the other at Your left.”Matthew 20:22“You do not know what you are asking,” Jesus replied. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” the brothers answered.Matthew 20:23“You will indeed drink My cup,” Jesus said. “But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom My Father has prepared them.”Matthew 27:23“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”Matthew 27:24When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”Matthew 27:25All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”Matthew 27:26So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.Matthew 27:27Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.Mark 6:17For Herod himself had ordered that John be arrested and bound and imprisoned, on account of his brother Philip’s wife Herodias, whom Herod had married.Mark 6:18For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”Mark 6:19So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,Mark 6:20because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard John’s words, he was greatly perplexed; yet he listened to him gladly.Mark 6:21On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.Mark 6:22When the daughter of Herodias came and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests, and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”Mark 6:23And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”Mark 6:24Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”Mark 6:25At once the girl hurried back to the king with her request: “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”Mark 6:26The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.Mark 6:27So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.Mark 6:28The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.Mark 15:15And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.Luke 23:13Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,Luke 23:14and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.Luke 23:15Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.Luke 23:16Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”Luke 23:17Luke 23:18But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”Luke 23:19(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)Luke 23:20Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,Luke 23:21but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”Luke 23:22A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”Luke 23:23But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.Luke 23:24So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.Luke 23:25As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.John 18:38“What is truth?” Pilate asked. And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and told them, “I find no basis for a charge against Him.John 18:39But it is your custom that I release to you one prisoner at the Passover. So then, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”John 19:4Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”John 19:5When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”John 19:6As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.”John 19:7“We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”John 19:8When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,John 19:9and he went back into the Praetorium. “Where are You from?” he asked. But Jesus gave no answer.John 19:10So Pilate said to Him, “Do You refuse to speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and authority to crucify You?”John 19:11Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”John 19:12From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who declares himself a king is defying Caesar.”John 19:13When 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.
