John 19:1-16
Jesus Delivered to Be Crucified
1Then Pilate took Jesus and aflogged him. 2 bAnd the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. 3They came up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands. 4Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that cI find no guilt in him.” 5So Jesus came out, wearing dthe crown of thorns and the purple robe.
