John 19:1-6 ▼

1 Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him.

2 And the soldiers twisted together 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 guilt 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 guilt in him.”
