- 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!"
|
- Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
- And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
- And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
- Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
- Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
|
- 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?"
|
- When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
- The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
- When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
- And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
- Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
|
- 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.
|
- Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
- And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
- When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
- And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
- But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
|
- Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus.
|
- Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
