John 19:1-5 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him.

2. And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe.

3. They came up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands.

4. Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him.”

5. So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!”
