John 19:1-6 ▼

1 So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.

2 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.

3 And they kept coming up to him and saying, |Greetings, King of the Jews.| and they struck him with their hands.

4 Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, |Look, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.|

5 Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And he said to them, |Look, here is the man.|

6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, |Crucify. Crucify.| Pilate said to them, |Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.|
