John 19:1-16

Jesus Flogged and Rejected as King

Pilate then took Jesus and ¹^aflogged Him. 2 ^aAnd when the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a purple ¹robe on Him; 3 and they were coming to Him and saying, “^aHail, King of the Jews!” and were ^bgiving Him slaps in the face. 4 And Pilate ^acame out again and *said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that ^bI find no guilt in Him.” 5 Jesus then came out, ^awearing the crown of thorns and the purple ¹robe. Pilate *said to them, “Behold, the man!” 6 So when the chief priests and the ^aofficers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate *said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for ^bI find no guilt in Him.” 7 The Jews answered him, “^aWe have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He ^bmade Himself out to be the Son of God.”
8 Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he became more afraid; 9 and he ^aentered into the ¹Praetorium again and *said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But ^bJesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate *said to Him, “You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?” 11 Jesus answered, “^aYou would have no authority ¹over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason ^bhe who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.” 12 As a result of this Pilate kept seeking to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, “^aIf you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself to be a king ¹opposes Caesar.”
13 Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and ^asat down on the judgment seat at a place called ¹The Stone Pavement, but ^bin ²Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was ^athe day of ¹Preparation for the Passover; it was about the ²^bsixth hour. And he *said to the Jews, “Behold, ^cyour King!” 15 So they cried out, “^aAway with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” Pilate *said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.”
