19:1

Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.

19:2

The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe

19:3

and went up to him again and again, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they struck him in the face.

19:4

Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, "Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him."

19:5

When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!"

19:6

As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, "Crucify! Crucify!" But Pilate answered, "You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him."

19:7

The Jews insisted, "We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God."

19:8

When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid,

19:9

and he went back inside the palace. "Where do you come from?" he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.

19:10

"Do you refuse to speak to me?" Pilate said. "Don't you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?"

19:11

Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin."

19:12

From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jews kept shouting, "If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar."

19:13

When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha).

19:14

It was the day of Preparation of Passover Week, about the sixth hour. "Here is your king," Pilate said to the Jews.

19:15

But they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" "Shall I crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king but Caesar," the chief priests answered.

19:16

Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.

53:5

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.

53:7

He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

2:22

"He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth."

2:23

When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.

27:24

When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!"

27:25

All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!"

33:13

From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;

15:3

The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.

10:10

And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

2:7

Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, "The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone,"

2:8

and, "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.
