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.'
