John 19:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said, “Here is the man!”^[a]

⁶ When the chief priests and the temple police saw him, they yelled, “Nail him to a cross! Nail him to a cross!”

Pilate told them, “You take him and nail him to a cross! I don't find him guilty of anything.”

⁷ The crowd replied, “He claimed to be the Son of God! Our law says that he must be put to death.”
