NASB | John 19:11 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." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 19:11 Jesus answered, "You would have no authority over Me at all if it had not been given to you from above. For this reason the sin and guilt of the one who handed Me over to you is greater [than your own]." |
Bible Question: What is meant by the greater sin? |
Bible Answer: Pilate had not personally witnessed the miracles Jesus had performed. The people had. It was the same people who had witnessed the miracles of Christ who cried "Crucify him, crucify him." It would appear that all sins are not equal, but some more heinous than others; some comparatively as gnats, others as camels; some as motes in the eyes, others as beams; It was those who personally witnessed Jesus' miracles, who had falsely accused and delivered him to Pilate who had not witnessed the miracles, who had "the greater sin."
