3 and they came to him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck him repeatedly.
4 Once more Pilate went out and said to them, “Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no guilt in him.”
5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cloak. And he said to them, “Behold, the man!”
6 When the chief priests and the guards saw him they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him. I find no guilt in him.”
7 The Jews answered, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”
8 Now when Pilate heard this statement, he became even more afraid,
9 and went back into the praetorium and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” Jesus did not answer him.
