1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged severely. 2 The soldiers braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they clothed him in a purple robe. 3 They came up to him again and again and said, |Hail, king of the Jews!| And they struck him repeatedly in the face. 4 Again Pilate went out and said to the Jewish leaders, |Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no reason for an accusation against him.| 5 So Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, |Look, here is the man!| John 19:1-5, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
