2. And the soldiers, plaiting a crown of thorns, imposed it on his head. And they put a purple garment around him.
3. And they were approaching him and saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they struck him repeatedly.
4. Then Pilate went outside again, and he said to them: "Behold, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may realize that I find no case against him."
5. (Then Jesus went out, bearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment.) And he said to them, "Behold the man."
6. Therefore, when the high priests and the attendants had seen him, they cried out, saying: "Crucify him! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them: "Take him yourselves and crucify him. For I find no case against him."
7. The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to the law, he ought to die, for he has made himself the Son of God."
8. Therefore, when Pilate had heard this word, he was more fearful.
