*
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus ,
and whipped him .
*
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns ,
and put it on his head ,
and they put on him a purple robe ,
*
And said ,
Hail ,
King of the Jews !
and they smote him with their hands .
*
Pilate therefore went forth again ,
and says unto them ,
Behold ,
I bring him forth to you ,
that you may know that I find no fault in him .
*
Then came Jesus forth ,
wearing the crown of thorns ,
and the purple robe .
And Pilate says unto them ,
Behold the man !
*
When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him ,
they cried out ,
saying ,
Crucify him ,
crucify him .
Pilate says unto them ,
Take you him ,
and crucify him :
for I find no fault in him .
*
The Jews answered him ,
We have a law ,
and by our law he ought to die ,
because he made himself the Son of God .
*
When Pilate therefore heard that saying ,
he was the more afraid ;
*
And went again into the judgment hall ,
and says unto Jesus ,
From where are you ?
But Jesus gave him no answer .
*
Then says Pilate unto him ,
You do not speak unto me ?
do you not know that I have power to crucify you ,
and have power to release you ?
*
Jesus answered ,
*
And from then on ,
Pilate sought to release him :
but the Jews cried out ,
saying ,
If you let this man go ,
you are not Caesar '
s friend :
whosoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar .
*
When Pilate therefore heard that saying ,
he brought Jesus forth ,
and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement ,
but in the Hebrew ,
Gabbatha .
*
And it was the preparation of the passover ,
and about the sixth hour :
and he says unto the Jews ,
Behold your King !
*
But they cried out ,
Away with him ,
away with him ,
crucify him .
Pilate says unto them ,
Shall I crucify your King ?
The chief priests answered ,
We have no king but Caesar .
*
Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified .
And they took Jesus ,
and led him away .
