John 19:3-7

³They kept coming up to him and saying, “Long live the king of the Jews!” and they gave him blow after blow with their hands.

⁴Pilate again came outside, and said to the people, “Look! I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find nothing with which he can be charged.”

⁵Then Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe; and Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

⁶When the chief priests and the police officers saw him, they shouted, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” “Take him yourselves and crucify him,” said Pilate. “For my part, I find nothing with which he can be charged.”

⁷“But we,” replied the crowd, “have a Law, under which he deserves death for making himself out to be the Son of God.”
