1 THEN Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. 2 And the soldiers having platted a crown of thorns, put it on his head, and they clothed him in a purple robe, 3 and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they gave him slaps on the face with their hands. 4 Then again went Pilate out, and said to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault at all. 5 Then came Jesus out, bearing the thorny crown, and the purple robe. And he said to them, Behold the man! 6 When the chief priests therefore and the officers saw him, they cried vociferously, saying, Crucify him! crucify him! Pilate saith to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I have not found in him a fault. 7 The Jews replied to him, We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he hath made himself the Son of God. 8 When Pilate then heard this saying, he was the more afraid: 9 and entered into the prætorium again, and saith to Jesus, From whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Then saith Pilate to him, Dost thou not speak to me? dost thou not know that I have power to crucify thee, and that I have power to release thee?
