1
So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.
2
And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe.
3
Then they said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck Him with their hands.
4
Pilate then went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in Him."
5
Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, "Behold the Man!"
6
Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, "Crucify Him, crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him."
7
The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God."
8
Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid,
9
and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, "Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
