Jesus Flogged and Rejected as King

19 Pilate then took Jesus and ^[a](A)flogged Him. ^2 (B)And when the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a purple ^[b]robe on Him; ³ and they were coming to Him and saying, “^(C)Hail, King of the Jews!” and were ^(D)giving Him slaps in the face. ⁴ And Pilate ^(E)came out again and *said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that ^(F)I find no guilt in Him.” ⁵ Jesus then came out, ^(G)wearing the crown of thorns and the purple ^[c]robe. Pilate *said to them, “Behold, the man!” ⁶ So when the chief priests and the ^(H)officers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate *said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for ^(I)I find no guilt in Him.” ⁷ The Jews answered him, “^(J)We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He ^(K)made Himself out to be the Son of God.”
