Matthew 26:68

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

And going by they continued to blaspheme Him, wagging their heads,

And certain ones began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to buffet Him, and say to Him, Prophesy: and the officers received Him with blows.

And the men having Him, began to mock, beating Him,

And having divested Him, put on Him a scarlet robe:

And they began to mock Him, Hail, King of the Jews!

And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, placed it on His head, and put on Him a purple robe;

Unto whom going forth, to a living stone, indeed rejected by men, but elect with God, precious,

And certain ones began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to buffet Him, and say to Him, Prophesy: and the officers received Him with blows.
