John 19:1-5 Thereupon (or: At that time) Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged (with a whip having pieces of metal embedded, so as to rip off flesh severely flogged) Him.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Thereupon (or: At that time) Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged (with a whip [having pieces of metal embedded, so as to rip off flesh] severely flogged) [Him]. ² And then the soldiers, upon weaving (intertwining; braiding) a victor's wreath from [branches] out of a thorn-bush (or: prickly weeds; thistles), placed [it] upon His head, and threw a purple cloak (outer garment; robe; [note: Matt. 27:28 reads: scarlet robe – the color robe worn by Roman officers of rank]) around Him, ³ and they kept coming toward Him and were repeatedly saying, "Be rejoicing (= Hail; Greetings), O King of the Jews (or: Judeans)!" And they kept on giving Him slaps in the face with the open hand (or: strikes with a whip, rod or club). ⁴ So Pilate goes outside again and says to them, "Look and consider! I am leading him outside to you, so that you folks can come to know by experience that I am still finding no cause for accusation (no fault, responsibility or reason for a case) within him." ⁵ Then Jesus came forth, outside, still wearing the thorny victor's wreath and the purple garment (cloak; robe). And he [i.e., Pilate] says to them, "Look at the man!" (or: "See and consider this person.")
