^{1 Ref} Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

^{2 Ref} And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment;

^{3 Ref} and they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands.

^{4 Ref} And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him.

^{5 Ref} Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And `Pilate' saith unto them, Behold, the man!

^{6 Ref} When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify `him', crucify `him'! Pilate saith unto them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him.

^{7 Ref} The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

^{8 Ref} When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid;

^{9 Ref} and he entered into the Praetorium again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

^{10 Ref} Pilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?

^{11 Ref} Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin.

^{12 Ref} Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

^{13 Ref} When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

^{14 Ref} Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King!

^{15 Ref} They therefore cried out, Away with `him', away with `him', crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

^{16 Ref} Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified.
