Joh. 19.13, 14. part of it, when Pilate therefore heard that saying (if thou let him go thou art no friend to Cesar) he brought Jesus forth, and sate down in the Judgement seat, in a place that is called the pavement, but in the Hebrew Gabatha. And it was the preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour.
Ioh. 19.13, 14. part of it, when Pilate therefore heard that saying (if thou let him go thou art no friend to Cesar) he brought Iesus forth, and sate down in the Iudgement seat, in a place that is called the pavement, but in the Hebrew Gabatha. And it was the preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour.
