John 19:1-4

So Pilate then took Jesus and had Him flogged.

And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and placed it on His head, and put a purple cloak on Him;

and they repeatedly came up to Him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapped Him in the face again and again.

And then Pilate came out again and *said to them, “See, I am bringing Him out to you so that you will know that I find no grounds at all for charges in His case.”
