Matthew 26:68

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

And those who went by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

And some spit on him; and they blindfolded him, and beat him with the fist, and said to him, Prophesy. And the officers beat him with open hands.

And the men having him in custody mocked him, beating him;

and stripped him, and put on him a crimson cloak,

And they saluted him, Hail, king of the Jews!

And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head; and they put a purple garment about him,

To whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed by men but approved by God, elect, precious,

And some spit on him; and they blindfolded him, and beat him with the fist, and said to him, Prophesy. And the officers beat him with open hands.
