John 19:1-7

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

19 ¹ So at that time Pilate took Jesus and whipped Him. ² And the soldiers, having woven a crown out of thorns, put it on His head. And they clothed Him with a purple garment. ³ And they were coming to Him and saying, “Hail^[a], King of the Jews!” And they were giving Him slaps.

The Jews Shout, Crucify Him, Because He Made Himself To Be God’s Son!

⁴ And Pilate again went outside. And he says to them, “Look— I am bringing Him outside to you in order that you may know that I find no charge in Him”. ⁵ Then Jesus came outside, wearing the crown made-of-thorns and the purple garment. And he says to them, “Behold, the man!” ⁶ Then when they saw Him, the chief priests and the officers shouted, saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate says to them, “You take Him and crucify Him, for I do not find a charge in Him”. ⁷ The Jews responded to him, “We have a law. And according to the law He ought to die, because He made Himself to be God’s Son”.
