John 19:1-9

1 Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.

2 And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple robe;

3 they came up to him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and struck him with their hands.

4 Pilate went out again, and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him."

5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold the man!"

6 When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no crime in him."

7 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he has made himself the Son of God."

8 When Pilate heard these words, he was the more afraid;

9 he entered the praetorium again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave no answer.
