John 19:1-10 ▼

1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged Him.

2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head,

3 and threw a purple robe about Him, and said, "Hail king of the Jews," and struck Him with their hands.

4 Pilate therefore came out again, and saith unto them, Behold I bring Him out to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in Him.

5 So Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, "Behold the man."

6 When the chief priests therefore and the officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, "Crucify Him, crucify Him. " Pilate saith unto them, Take Him yourselves, and crucify Him: for I find no fault in Him.

7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law He ought to die, because He made himself the Son of God.

8 Now when Pilate heard this he was the more afraid;

9 and went into the palace again, and saith to Jesus, From whence art thou? but Jesus gave him no answer.

10 Pilate therefore saith unto Him, Dost thou not speak to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
