John:19:1-16
rsv@John:19:1 @ Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.
rsv@John:19:2 @ And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple robe;
rsv@John:19:3 @ they came up to him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and struck him with their hands.
rsv@John:19:4 @ Pilate went out again, and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him."
rsv@John:19:5 @ So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold the man!"
rsv@John:19:6 @ 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 crime in him."
rsv@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he has made himself the Son of God."
rsv@John:19:8 @ When Pilate heard these words, he was the more afraid;
rsv@John:19:9 @ he entered the praetorium again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave no answer.
rsv@John:19:10 @ Pilate therefore said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?"
rsv@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered him, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin."
rsv@John:19:12 @ Upon this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar."
rsv@John:19:13 @ When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gab'batha.
rsv@John:19:14 @ Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"
rsv@John:19:15 @ They cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."
rsv@John:19:16 @ Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.
