Matthew 27:27-31
Jesus Is Mocked
27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into (a)the Praetorium, and they gathered the whole Roman cohort around Him.(A)
Jesus Is Mocked
28 They stripped him and put a scarlet (b)robe on Him [as a king’s robe].
29 And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a reed in His right hand [as a scepter]. Kneeling before Him, they ridiculed Him, saying, “Hail (rejoice), King of the Jews!”
30 They spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him repeatedly on the head.
31 After they finished ridiculing Him, they stripped Him of the scarlet robe and put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
