- 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!"
|
- 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?"
|
- 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."
|
- So he then handed Him over to them to be crucified.
