Jesus Scourged and Mocked

1

Then therefore Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.

2

And the soldiers platting a crown of thorns, put it upon his head: and they put on him a purple garment.

3

And they came to him and said: Hail, king of the Jews. And they gave him blows.

4

Pilate therefore went forth again and saith to them: Behold, I bring him forth unto you, that you may know that I find no cause in him.

5

(Jesus therefore came forth, bearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment.) And he saith to them: Behold the Man.

6

When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants had seen him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, Crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause in him.

7

The Jews answered him: We have a law; and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

8

When Pilate therefore had heard this saying, he feared the more.

9

And he entered into the hall again; and he said to Jesus: Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

10

Pilate therefore saith to him: Speakest thou not to me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release thee?
