1 Then Pilate ordered that Jesus be taken away and whipped.
2 The soldiers used some thorny branches to make a crown. They put this crown on Jesus’ head and put a purple robe around him.
3 Then they came to Jesus many times and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” They hit Jesus in the face.
4 Again Pilate came out and said to them, “Look! I am bringing Jesus out to you. I want you to know that I find nothing I can charge against him.”
