1. Then, therefore, Pilate took יהושע and flogged Him.
2. And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns and placed it on His head, and they put a purple robe on Him,
3. and came to Him and said, “Greetings, Sovereign of the Yehuḏim!” And they slapped Him in the face.
4. And Pilate went outside again, and said to them, “See, I am bringing Him out to you, to let you know that I find no guilt in Him.”
5. Then יהושע came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “See the Man!”
6. So when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, saying, “Impale! Impale!” Pilate said to them, “You take Him and impale Him, for I find no guilt in Him.”
7. The Yehuḏim answered him, “We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, for He has made Himself the Son of Elohim.”
8. So when Pilate heard this word, he was more afraid,
9. and went back into the palace, and asked יהושע, “Where are You from?” But יהושע gave him no answer.
10. Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not speak to me? Do You not know that I possess authority to impale You, and I possess authority to release You?”
