24 And Pilate, seeing that it availed nothing, but that rather a tumult was arising, having taken water, washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this righteous one: see ye to it.
25 And all the people answering said, His blood be on us and on our children.
26 Then he released to them Barabbas; but Jesus, having scourged him, he delivered up that he might be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus with them to the praetorium, gathered against him the whole band,
28 and having taken off his garment, put on him a scarlet cloak;
29 and having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and, bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30 And having spit upon him, they took the reed and beat him on his head.
