New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.(A) 2 And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they dressed him in a purple robe.(B) 3 They kept coming up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and striking him on the face.(C) 4 Pilate went out again and said to them, “Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no case against him.”(D) 5 So Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate[a] said to them, “Behold the man!”(E) 6 When the chief priests and the police saw him, they shouted, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him; I find no case against him.”(F) 7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has claimed to be the Son of God.”(G)
