John 19:1-16 — Jesus Sentenced to Be Crucified

John.19.1-16

¹Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. ²And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they clothed him in a purple robe. ³And they kept coming up to him and saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept striking him. ⁴And Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you so that you may know that I find no charge against him.” ⁵So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe.

And he said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!” ¹⁵Then they shouted, “Away! Away!
