3 Then they came to him many times and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and hit him 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 against him.”
5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
6 When the leading priests and the guards saw Jesus, they shouted, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”But Pilate answered, “Crucify him yourselves, because I find nothing against him.”
7 The leaders answered, “We have a law that says he should die, because he said he is the Son of God.”
8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid.
9 He went back inside the palace and asked Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But Jesus did not answer him.
