Papyrus 90 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by ${\mathfrak {P}}$ ⁹⁰, is a small fragment from the Gospel of John 18:36-19:7 dating palaeographically to the late 2nd century.^[1]^{[clarification needed]}^[2]

The papyrus is written on both sides. The characters that are in bold style are the ones that can be seen in ${\mathfrak {P}}$ ⁹⁰.

kingdom, my servants for me would
fighteth, so that I would not be delivered
unto the Jews: but now this kingdom of
mine is not from hence. Said
therefore to him Pilate, "Then
a king thou art?" answered Jesus, "Thou said
that king I am. For this I
have been born, and for this
I have come into the world, so that
I would testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the
truth hears of me my voice."
Said to him Pilate, "What is
truth?" And this having said, again
he went out unto the Jews
and said to them, "I do not
find in him guilt.There is,
though, a custom for you, that
I should release unto you one at the Passover:
do you wish then that I would release unto you
the King of the Jews?"
They cried out so again, saying, "Not this
man, but Barabbas!"
Now Barabbas was a robber. Then therefore

Pilate took Jesus, and

woven a crown of thorns,
they put it on his head, and
a robe of purple they put around
him, and they did come to him,
and they said "Hail, King
of the Jews!" and they gave him
blows with their hands. And went forth again
Pilate, and said unto them, "Behold,
I bring him to you forth, so that you may know
that fault in him I do not find."
Came forth then Jesus without, wearing
the crown of thorns,
and the purple robe. And
Pilate saith unto them, "Behold the man!"
When they so saw him, the chief priests
and officers cried out, saying,
"Crucify him!" Saith unto them
Pilate, "Take ye
him, and crucify him: for I
do not find in him guilt."
Answered the Jews, "We
have a law, and according to that
