So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him.
The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.
They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
and they kept slapping him.

Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment.
Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”
