14And Pilate said to them, `Why -- what evil did he?` and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;`
15and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged [him] -- that he might be crucified.
16And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,
17and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put [it] on him,
18and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.`
19And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,
20and when they [had] mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.
