John 19:5-6. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! 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.
That is the third time. It was well that he who had the principal hand in the slaughter of the Lamb of God should make his report that he was "a Lamb without blemish and without spot"; and, therefore, fit to be presented in sacrifice before God. For the third time he doth acquit him. The Jews answered him, "We have a law" - it may not be your law - "and by our law he ought to die because he made himself the son of God." This is a reviving of the charge of blasphemy which they had brought against him in the palace of the high priest.
