Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”

KJV with Strongs
(11) Yeshua answered him, "You would have no authority against Me, if not been given you from above." Because of this, the one delivering me to you has greater deviating-sin.
The F.O.G
[11] Jesus answered, "You would have no power over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of a greater sin." Even now, He taught truth about divine sovereignty and human responsibility.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
Jesus answered, ‘Thou wouldest have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.’
