ગુજરાતીયોહાન ૧૯:૧૧
ઈસુએ તેને ઉત્તર આપ્યો કે, ‘ઉપરથી અપાયાં વિના તને મારા પર કંઈ પણ અધિકાર હોત નહિ; તે માટે જેણે મને તને સોંપ્યો છે તેનું પાપ વધારે મોટું છે.’”
हिन्दीयूहन्ना १९:११
यीशु ने उत्तर दिया, “यदि तुझे ऊपर से न दिया जाता, तो तेरा मुझ पर कुछ अधिकार न होता; इसलिए जिसने मुझे तेरे हाथ पकड़वाया है, उसका पाप अधिक है।”

In context

9He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

10Pilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?”

11Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”

12At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”

13When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement”, but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”
