John19:15
15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucifie him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucifie your king? The chief priests answered , We have no king but Cesar .
The more Pilate sought to quiet them, the more they rage, contrary to all dictates of reason; when God hath determined a thing, all things shall concur to bring it about. Pilate mocks them when he saith, shall I Crucifie your King?
Yet so fierce was their malice against Christ, that to compel the Governor to condemn him, tho there were not a people under Heaven, more zealous for their liberties, nor more impatient of a forreign yoke; they cry out, We have no king but Cesar: That is, the Roman Emperor who had Conquered them.
