John 19:2
Verse 2 of 42. The 19th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.
1So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him.
2The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.
3They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.
4Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”
5Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”
6When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”
