12. And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will you then that I shall do unto him whom you call the King of the Jews?
13. And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14. Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil has he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15. And so Pilate, willing to satisfy the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
16. And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they called together the whole band.
17. And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
18. And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19. And they struck him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshiped him.
