2 And the soldiers, plaiting a crown of thorns, imposed it on his head. And they put a purple garment around him.
3 And they were approaching him and saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they struck him repeatedly.
4 Then Pilate went outside again, and he said to them: "Behold, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may realize that I find no case against him."
5 (Then Jesus went out, bearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment.) And he said to them, "Behold the man."
6 Therefore, when the high priests and the attendants had seen him, they cried out, saying: "Crucify him! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them: "Take him yourselves and crucify him. For I find no case against him."
7 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to the law, he ought to die, for he has made himself the Son of God."
8 Therefore, when Pilate had heard this word, he was more fearful.
