1
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged [him].
2
And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,
3
and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face.
4
And Pilate went out again and says to them, Lo, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault whatever.
5
(Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man!
6
When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him they cried out saying, Crucify, crucify [him]. Pilate says to them, Take him ye 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 Son of God.
8
When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,
9
and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10
Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to *me*? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?
