Joh 19, Verses 6–8English original
When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid.
It was not the law that he was afraid of, as he was a stranger: but he was more afraid, lest he should slay the Son of God.
