The third Sorrowful Snapdragon, the Crowning with Thorns

 People wanted more from Jesus. They wanted to give Him a crown. A crown of thorns. So someone quickly made a crown of thorns and placed it roughly on His head.

They placed a reed in His hand like a scepter, and a robe was placed on His shoulders.

"Hail, king of the Jews!" the people mocked.

Then, Pilate asked the crowd, "What will I do with this man?"

The crowd called out, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!" Pilate washed his hands and stated that he was innocent. Whatever happened to Jesus would be the crowd's responsibility.

Pilate could've stopped it. He was just scared. Pilate didn't know what the crowds would do if he let Jesus go. Pilate could have prevented it, but he didn't. Jesus was then led to the cross he would carry up the steep hill.
