The Soldiers Mock Jesus

1 So then aPilate took Jesus and scourged Him.  
2 And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe.
3 1Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they astruck Him with their hands.  
4 Pilate then went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, athat you may know that I find no fault in Him.”  

Pilate’s Decision

5 Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!”
6 aTherefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him.”  
7 The Jews answered him, a“We have a law, and according to1 our law He ought to die, because bHe made Himself the Son of God.”  
8 Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid,
9 and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” aBut Jesus gave him no answer.  
10 Then Pilate said to Him, “Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have1 power to crucify You, and power to release You?”  
11 Jesus answered, a“You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore bthe one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”  
12 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. aWhoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”  
13 aWhen Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
