Matthew 27:24-29

24So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves."

25And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!"

26Then he released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.

27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before him.

28And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,

29and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
