1. Then Pilate ordered that Jesus be taken away and whipped.
2. The soldiers made a crown from some thorny branches and put it on Jesus’ head and put a purple robe around him.
3. Then they came to him many times and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and hit him in the face.
4. Again Pilate came out and said to them, “Look, I am bringing Jesus out to you. I want you to know that I find nothing against him.”
5. So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
6. When the leading priests and the guards saw Jesus, they shouted, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”But Pilate answered, “Crucify him yourselves, because I find nothing against him.”
