2. And the soldiers wove a crown out of thorns and placed it on his head, and clothed him in a purple cloak,
3. and they came to him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck him repeatedly.
4. Once more Pilate went out and said to them, “Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no guilt in him.”
5. So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cloak. And he said to them, “Behold, the man!”
6. When the chief priests and the guards saw him they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him. I find no guilt in him.”
7. The Jews answered, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”
8. Now when Pilate heard this statement, he became even more afraid,
9. and went back into the praetorium and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” Jesus did not answer him.
10. So Pilate said to him, “Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you and I have power to crucify you?”
