John 19:1-6 ▼

1 Pilate then took Jesus and scourged Him.

2 And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him;

3 and they [began] to come up to Him and say, |Hail, King of the Jews!| and to give Him slaps [in the face].

4 Pilate came out again and said to them, |Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him.|

5 Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. [Pilate] said to them, |Behold, the Man!|

6 So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, |Crucify, crucify!| Pilate said to them, |Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him.|
