Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus, and scourged him.

And, the soldiers, plaiting a crown out of thorns, placed it upon his head, and, a purple robe, cast they about him;

and kept coming unto him, and saying - Joy to thee! O King of the Jews! - and were giving unto him smart blows.

And Pilate went forth again outside, and saith unto them - See! I lead him unto you outside, that ye may take knowledge, that, no single fault, do I find in him.

Jesus, therefore, came forth outside, wearing the thorn crown, and the purple mantle. And he saith unto them - Lo! the Man!

When, therefore, the High-priests and the officers saw him, they cried aloud, saying - Crucify! Crucify! Pilate saith unto them - Ye, take him, and crucify; for, I, find not in him, a fault.

The Jews answered him - We, have, a law, and, according to the law, he ought to die, because, Son of God, himself, he made.
