1 Then Pilate ordered that Jesus be taken away and whipped.
2 The soldiers made a crown from thorny branches and put it on his head. Then they put a purple robe around him.
3 They kept coming up to him and saying, “Hail to the king of the Jews!” And they hit him in the face.
4 Again Pilate came out and said to the Jewish leaders, “Look! I am bringing Jesus out to you. I want you to know that I find nothing I can charge him with.”
