e) The scourging and mocking. The purple-robe and crown of thorns.
യേശുവിന്റെ പരിഹാസതാഡനങ്ങളും ധൂമ്രവസ്ത്രമുൾകിരീടങ്ങളും.

MATT. XXVII. 27. Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. 28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. 31. And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, ...

MARK XV. 16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Prætorium; and they called together the whole band. 17 And they clothed him with pur- ple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head. 18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees wor- shipped him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, ...

JOHN XIX. 1. Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. 2. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a pur- ple robe, 3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

f) Further fruitless attempts of Pilate to release Christ.

JOHN XIX.

4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. 5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! 6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. 7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. 8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying he was the more afraid ; 9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou ? But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have

power to crucify thee, and have power to re- lease thee? 11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. 12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Cæsar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Cæsar. 13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pave- ment, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! 15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, we have no king but Cæsar.

g) Pilate washes his hands, releases Barabbas and delivers Christ for crucifixion.
പിലാതൻ കൈകളെ കഴുകി യേശുവെ ക്രൂശിപ്പാൻ ഏല്പിച്ചതു.

MATT. XXVII. 24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail noth- ing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multi- tude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. 25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. 26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

MARK XV. 15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, releas- ed Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

LUKE XXIII. 24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. 25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

J. XIX. 16 Then delive- red he him there- fore un- to them to be cruci- fied...
