Romans 13:1 – Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
​Let every man, including the Man Christ Jesus, be subject to the governing authorities.
​John 19:10 – So Pilate said to Him, “You will not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and authority to crucify You?”
​Jesus, the highest ranking King in existence, is so extremely humble that He allows a local governor in Jerusalem to rule over Him.
​John 19:11 – Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over Me at all unless it had been given you from above.”
