Matthew 27:22-31

22Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”

23Then the governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”

24When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it.”

25And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children.”

26Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.

27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around Him.

28And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

30Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head.

31And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified.
