@ While Pilate was sitting in the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message
“Do not have ansthing to do with that man: I have suffered much over him

@ Again Pilate addressed them. tor he wished to release Jesus. He said to them.
“What shall | do then with Jesus who ts called Christ? What shall Pdo with him
whom you cal] the King of the Jews?”

They all cried out. “Crucis him!

Pilate said to them, “Why. what evil hay he done? I have found no guilt
worthy of death in him: I will theretore punish him and let him go.”

They ered out all the louder. “Crucify him! Crucis him!”

@ Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. The soldiers of the governor
led him away into the praetorium. They gathered the whole band of soldiers
around him. They stripped him and put on hima purple robe. When they had
woven a crown of thorns, thes put iton his head and a reed in his mght hand. and
they knelt before him and mocked him, saying. “Hail. King of the Jews!” Thes
spaton him and took the reed und struck him on the head. They knelt down and
did him homage.

@ Pilate went out again and suid to them, “See. | bring him out to vou that you
may know J find him not guilty.” So Jesus came out wearing the crown of
thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!”

@ When the chiet priests and officers saw him, they ened, “Crucity him!
Cruttes him!”

Palate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him. tor [do not tind
him guilty.”

The Jews answered him. “We have g law. and bs that law he ought to die.
because he made himselt the Son of God.”

@ When Puate heard ths. he was more atraid and went again into the
judgment hall and said to Jesus, “Where are sou from?” Jesus gave him no
answer. Then Palate suid to him. "Do sou refuse to speak to me? Do you not
know that I have power to crucity you, and [ have power to release you”

Jesus answered. “You would not have any power atall over me. unless 1
had been given to you trom ubove. For that reason he who handed me over to
sou has the greater sin.”

@ It ways the third hour, and there they crucified him

Jesus said. “Father, forgive them. for they know not what they do.”

The two criminals they crucified with him—one on his nght. the other on hrs
lem with Jesus in the middle. The Senipture was then tulfifled which says. "And
he was numbered with the transgressors.”
