2. The soldiers twisted thorns together to make a crown. They put it on Jesus' head. Then they put a purple robe on him.
3. They went up to him again and again. They kept saying, "We honor you, king of the Jews!" And they hit him in the face.
4. Once more Pilate came out. He said to the Jews, "Look, I am bringing Jesus out to you. I want to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him."
5. Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Then Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!"
6. As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" But Pilate answered, "You take him and crucify him. I myself find no basis for a charge against him."
