John 19:1-7

1 Pilate then took Yeshua and had him flogged.

2 The soldiers twisted thorn branches into a crown and placed it on his head, put a purple robe on him,

3 and went up to him, saying over and over, "Hail, `king of the Jews'!" and hitting him in the face.

4 Pilate went outside once more and said to the crowd, "Look, I'm bringing him out to you to get you to understand that I find no case against him."

5 So Yeshua came out, wearing the thorn-branch crown and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Look at the man!"

6 When the head cohanim and the Temple guards saw him they shouted, "Put him to death on the stake! Put him to death on the stake!" Pilate said to them, "You take him out yourselves and put him to death on the stake, because I don't find any case against him."

7 The Judeans answered him, "We have a law; according to that law, he ought to be put to death, because he made himself out to be the Son of God."
