And they *led Him out to crucify Him.

Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Jesus Is Mocked, Beaten, Spit On, And Crucified
16 And the soldiers led Him away inside the palace (that is, the Praetorium[a]). And they call together the whole [Roman] cohort[b]. 17 And they dress Him in a purple[c] cloak. And having woven a crown made-of-thorns, they set it on Him. 18 And they began to greet Him, “Hail[d], King of the Jews!” 19 And they were striking His head with a staff, and spitting-on Him. And while putting-down their knees, they were paying-homage to Him. 20 And when they mocked Him, they stripped the purple cloak off Him and put His garments on Him. And they lead Him out in order that they might crucify Him.
