1 Then Pilate had Jesus taken away and whipped. 2 The soldiers twisted some thorny branches into a crown, placed it on his head, and put a purple cape on him. 3 They went up to him, said, |Long live the king of the Jews!| and slapped his face. 4 Pilate went outside again and told the Jews, |I'm bringing him out to you to let you know that I don't find this man guilty of anything.| 5 Jesus went outside. He was wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cape. Pilate said to the Jews, |Look, here's the man!| 6 When the chief priests and the guards saw Jesus, they shouted, |Crucify him! Crucify him!| Pilate told them, |You take him and crucify him. I don't find this man guilty of anything.| John 19:1-6, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
