185:6.1 In all that is transpiring early this Friday [[morning]] before [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate], only the [[enemies]] of [[Jesus]] are [[participating]]. His many [[friends]] either do not yet know of his night [[arrest]] and early [[morning]] [[trial]] or are in hiding lest they also be [[apprehended]] and adjudged [[worthy]] of [[death]] because they [[believe]] [[Jesus]]' [[teachings]]. In [[the multitude]] which now clamors for [[the Master]]'s [[death]] are to be found only his sworn [[enemies]] and the easily led and unthinking [[Mob|populace]].

185:6.2 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] would make one last [[appeal]] to their [[pity]]. Being [[afraid]] to defy the clamor of this misled [[mob]] who cried for the [[blood]] of [[Jesus]], he ordered the Jewish guards and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_soldiers Roman soldiers] to take [[Jesus]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scourge scourge] him. This was in itself an unjust and illegal [[procedure]] since the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_law Roman law] provided that only those [[condemned]] to die by [[crucifixion]] should be thus subjected to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scourge scourging].

Before the scourgers laid their knotted whips upon [[Jesus]] as he was bound to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillory whipping post], they again put upon him the purple robe, and plaiting a [[crown]] of thorns, they placed it upon his brow.

185:6.3 Then [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] led forth this bleeding and lacerated [[prisoner]] and, presenting him before the mixed multitude, said: " Behold the [[man]]! Again I [[declare]] to you that I find no [[crime]] in him, and having [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scourge scourged] him, I would release him. "

185:6.4 There stood [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]], clothed in an old purple royal robe with a crown of thorns piercing his [[kindly]] brow. His [[face]] was bloodstained and his form bowed down with [[suffering]] and [[grief]]. But nothing can [[appeal]] to the unfeeling [[hearts]] of those who are [[victims]] of [[intense]] [[emotional]] [[hatred]] and [[slaves]] to [[religious]] [[prejudice]]. This [[sight]] sent a mighty shudder through the realms of a vast [[universe]], but it did not [[touch]] the [[hearts]] of those who had set their [[minds]] to [[effect]] the [[Death|destruction]] of [[Jesus]].

185:6.5 When they had recovered from the first [[shock]] of seeing [[the Master]]'s plight, they only shouted the louder and the longer, " Crucify him! Crucify him! [[Crucify]] him! "

185:6.6 And now did [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] [[comprehend]] that it was futile to [[appeal]] to their supposed [[feelings]] of [[pity]]. He stepped forward and said: " I [[perceive]] that you are [[determined]] this man shall die, but what has he done to deserve [[death]]? Who will [[declare]] his [[crime]]? "

185:6.7 Then the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol high priest] himself stepped forward and, going up to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate], [[angrily]] [[declared]]: " We have a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_law sacred law], and by that [[law]] this man ought to die because he made himself out to be the [[Creator Son|Son of God]]. " When [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] heard this, he was all the more [[afraid]], not only of the [[Jews]], but recalling his [[wife]]'s note and the [http://www.library.theoi.com/ Greek mythology] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_mythology#Age_of_gods_and_mortals gods coming down on earth], he now trembled at the [[thought]] of [[Jesus]] possibly being a [[divine]] [[personage]].

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] was now [[confused]] by [[fear]], bewildered by [[superstition]], and harassed by the stubborn [[attitude]] of the [[mob]].
