2
And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they dressed him in a purple robe.
3
They kept coming up to him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and striking him on the face.
4
Pilate went out again and said to them, "Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no case against him."
5
So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!"
