Jesus Scourged and Mocked

1

Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge him ,

2

and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place it on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,

3

and said, `Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps.

4

Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, `Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;'

5

Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, `Lo, the man!'

6

When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, `Crucify, crucify;' Pilate saith to them, `Take ye him--ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;'

7

the Jews answered him, `We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.'

8

When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid,

9

and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, `Whence art thou?' and Jesus gave him no answer.

10

Pilate, therefore, saith to him, `To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?'
