Den dey put one purple kine robe on top him. ³ An dey coming in front him, an tell, “Hui! King fo da Jews!” An dey slap his face wit dea hands.

⁴ Den Pilate go outside one mo time, an tell everybody, “Eh, look! I goin bring him outside fo you guys, so you guys can know dat I neva find notting wrong fo punish him.” ⁵ Jesus wen come outside wit da crown a thorns on top his head an da purple robe. Den Pilate tell da peopo, “Look, da guy!”

⁶ Wen da main priest guys an da police guys see Jesus, dey make big noise, an dey yelling, “Kill him on top one cross! Kill him on top one cross!”

Pilate tell um, “You guys take him an kill um on top one cross! I no find notting wrong fo punish him.”

⁷ Da Jews tell Pilate, “Us guys get Rules from God, an da Rules say dis guy gotta mahke, cuz he wen go talk like he Godʼs Boy.”

Governa Pilate Talk To Jesus

⁸ Wen Governa Pilate hear wat dey wen tell um, he come mo scared. ⁹ He go back inside da army headquarters an aks Jesus, “Eh, you! Wea you come from?” But Jesus neva say notting. ¹⁰ Den Pilate tell him, “You no like talk to me, o wat? Eh, you donno dat I get da right fo make dem kill you on top one cross, an I get da right fo let you go?”

¹¹ Jesus tell, “Ony one way you get da right fo hurt me. Ony if God Up Dea Inside Da Sky let you do all dis, den you can. Dass why da guy who wen turn me ova to you, he do mo worse ting den you.”

¹² From dat time, Pilate try fo let him go. But da Jews make big noise an yell, “If you let dis guy go, you not King Cesarʼs friend. If anybody make himself one king, he agains King Cesar.”

¹³ So, wen Pilate hear da tings dey saying, he bring Jesus outside, an he sit down on top da judge chair by da place dey call “Stone Pavemen Square,” an da Jews call um “Gabbata.”

²⁰ Dis sign, plenny Jews wen read um, cuz da place dey wen kill him stay near Jerusalem town. Da army guys wen write da sign in three language: Hebrew, Greek, an Latin. ²¹ Da Jewish main priest guys tell Pilate, “Eh, no write, ‘Da King Fo Da Jews’! Mo betta write, ‘Dis guy wen say, I da King fo da Jews’.”

²² Pilate tell um, “I wen tell my guys wat fo write, an dass how goin stay!”

²³ Da army guys, afta dey wen nail Jesus to da cross, dey take his clotheses an make four piles. Was one pile fo every army guy. Had his robe too, dat neva have seam, cuz dey wen weave um from da top an all ova. ²⁴ So dey say, “Mo betta no broke up da robe. We go throw da dice fo um, yeah? Fo find out who goin get um.” Dat was fo make happen jalike da Bible wen say from befo time: “Dey wen split my clotheses. An my robe, dey wen throw da dice fo um.”
