24 When Pilate saw it was a lost cause, and that a riot was developing, he took some water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I'm innocent of this man's blood. It's on your heads!” he told them.25 All the people answered, “May his blood be on us, and on our children!”26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but he had Jesus whipped and sent to be crucified.

27 The governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and the whole troop surrounded him.28 They stripped him and put a scarlet cloak on him.29 They made a crown of thorns and placed it on his head, and put a stick in his right hand. They kneeled down in front of him and mocked him, saying, “We salute you, King of the Jews!”30 They spat on him, and took the stick and beat him over the head with it.31 When they'd finished mocking him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.32 On the way they found a man called Simon, from Cyrene, and they forced him to carry Jesus' cross.
