4. Pilate went out once more and said to the crowd, “Look, I will bring him out here to you to let you see that I cannot find any reason to condemn him.”
5. So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Look! Here is the man!”
6. When the chief priests and the temple guards saw him, they shouted, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”Pilate said to them, “You take him, then, and crucify him. I find no reason to condemn him.”
7. The crowd answered back, “We have a law that says he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
8. When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid.
9. He went back into the palace and asked Jesus, “Where do you come from?”But Jesus did not answer.
