Jesus Scourged, Mocked, and Sentenced to Crucifixion
John 19:1-16
1Then therefore Pilate took Jesus and whipped him.2And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they clothed him with purple clothing.3And they came to him and said, "Rejoice, the king of the Jews," and they gave him slaps.4And Pilate went out again and says to them, "Look, I bring him to you outside, in order that you may know that I find no cause in him."5Therefore Jesus went out outside, wearing the thorny crown and the purple clothing, and says to them, "Look, the human."6When therefore the high-priests and the servants saw him, they shouted, saying, "Crucify, crucify." Pilate says to them, "Take him, you, and crucify him, for I find no cause in him."7The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to the law he owes to die, because he made himself son of God."8When therefore Pilate heard this word, he feared more.9And he entered the praetorium again and says to Jesus, "Whence are you?" Then Jesus gave him no answer.10Pilate therefore says to him, "Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and I have authority to crucify you?"11Jesus answered him, "You had no authority over me at all unless it was given to you from above; because of this the one who delivered me to you has greater sin."12Out from this Pilate sought to release him. Then the Jews shouted, saying, "If you release this one, you are not a friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself king disputes against Caesar."13Therefore Pilate, having heard these words, brought Jesus outside and seated him upon a judgement seat in a place called Stone Pavement, which is called Gabbatha in Hebrew.14Then it was the Preparation of the Passover; the hour was about the sixth, and he says to the Jews, "Look, your king."15Therefore they shouted, "Take him up, take him up, crucify him." Pilate says to them, "Shall I crucify your king?" The high-priests answered, "We have no king except Caesar."16Then therefore he delivered him to them in order that he might be crucified. Therefore they took Jesus.
