19 So then ^(B)Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.

^19 (A)and deliver Him to the Gentiles to ^(B)mock and to ^(C)scourge and to ^(D)crucify. And the third day He will ^(E)rise again.”

^16 (A)I will therefore chastise Him and release Him”

³³ They will scourge Him and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.”

²³ But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men ^[a]and of the chief priests prevailed.

^15 (A)So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be ^(B)crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus^(C)

^16 (D)Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called ^[a]Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison. ¹⁷ And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head, ¹⁸ and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” ¹⁹ Then they ^(E)struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him. ²⁰ And when they had ^(F)mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

³³ “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and deliver Him to the Gentiles; ³⁴ and they will mock Him, and ^[a]scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.”
