Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
In context
20Many of the Jews read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. 21The chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews.’ Write that this man said, ‘I am King of the Jews.’” 22Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.” 23When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four shares, one for each soldier. There was also the tunic; it was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. 24So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it. Let’s cast lots for it, to see whose it will be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture that says, “They divided my clothes among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.” So that is what the soldiers did.
