The Latin form of Pilate's words, "Behold the man", has given the title Ecce Homo to this picture. It is the moment when Jesus comes forth from the rude mockery of the soldiers, clad in a royal robe, and wearing the crown of thorns. The governor has bidden one of the soldiers lead the prisoner out on a balcony of the palace.
Ecce Homo, Caravaggio, 1605. Ecce homo (/ ˈ ɛ k s i ˈ h oʊ m oʊ /, Ecclesiastical Latin: [ˈettʃe ˈomo], Classical Latin: [ˈɛkkɛ ˈhɔmoː]; "behold the man") are the Latin words used by Pontius Pilate in the Vulgate translation of the Gospel of John, when he presents a scourged Jesus, bound and crowned with thorns, to a hostile crowd shortly before his crucifixion (John 19:5).
Pilate handed Jesus over to them for crucifixion. Jesus abducted for crucifixion: Matthew 27:27–31. Roman soldiers took Jesus into the praetorium. Soldiers undressed Jesus and put a scarlet robe, a crown of thorns and a staff on him. Soldiers knelt in front of Jesus and mocked him saying: 'Hail, king of the Jews!'

[260] [261] In Luke 23:7–15, Pilate realizes that Jesus is a Galilean, and thus comes under the jurisdiction of Herod ...
He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. The modern World English Bible translates the passage as: This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

Earlier this year a picture re-emerged that showed what Jesus might have looked like as a kid. Detectives took the Turin Shroud, believed to show Jesus' image, and created a photo-fit image from ...
The main figures are on a platform above the crowd, in front of a dark archway. Accompanied by armed guards, Pilate stands with a long staff, wearing an oriental turban and long gown, gesturing to the two prisoners who stand bound to the right.
