14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why, awhat evil has He done?” But they cried out all the more, “Crucify Him!”
15 aSo Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be bcrucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
16 aThen the soldiers led Him away into the hall called1 Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison.
17 And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head,
18 and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
19 Then they astruck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him.
20 And when they had amocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.
The King on a Cross
21 aThen they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross.
