- Pilate then took Jesus and scourged Him.
- And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him;
- and they began to come up to Him and say, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and to give Him slaps in the face.
- Pilate came out again and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him."
- Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the Man!"
|
- Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
- The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe
- and went up to him again and again, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they struck him in the face.
- Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, "Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him."
- When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!"
|
- So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, "Crucify, crucify!" Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him."
- The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He made Himself out to be the Son of God."
- Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid;
- and he entered into the Praetorium again and said to Jesus, "Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
- So Pilate said to Him, "You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?"
|
- As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, "Crucify! Crucify!" But Pilate answered, "You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him."
- The Jews insisted, "We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God."
- When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid,
- and he went back inside the palace. "Where do you come from?" he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.
- "Do you refuse to speak to me?" Pilate said. "Don't you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?"
|
- 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."
- As a result of this Pilate made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, "If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar."
- Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
- Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour And he said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"
- So they cried out, "Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."
|
- 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."
- From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jews kept shouting, "If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar."
- When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha).
- It was the day of Preparation of Passover Week, about the sixth hour. "Here is your king," Pilate said to the Jews.
- But they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" "Shall I crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king but Caesar," the chief priests answered.
|
- So he then handed Him over to them to be crucified.
|
- Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus.
