John 19:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.

2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.

3 And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.

4 Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
