Matthew 27:27-31 - Jesus Is Mocked
27 Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the imperial headquarters and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him. 29 Twisting some thorns into a victor's crown, they placed it on his head and put a stick in his right hand. They knelt down in front of him and began making fun of him, saying, "Long live the king of the Jews!" 30 Then they spit on him and took the stick and hit him repeatedly on his head. 31 When they had finished making fun of him, they stripped him of the robe, put his own clothes back on him, and led him away to crucify him.
16 The soldiers led Jesus into the courtyard of the palace (that is, the governor's headquarters) and called out the whole guard. 17 They dressed him in a purple robe, twisted some thorns into a victor's crown, and placed it on his head. 18 They began to greet him, "Long live the king of the Jews!" 19 They kept hitting him on the head with a stick, spitting on him, kneeling in front of him, and worshiping him. 20 When they had finished making fun of him, they stripped him of the purple robe, put his own clothes back on him, and led him away to crucify him.
16 to be a minister of the Messiah Jesus to the gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering brought by gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 Therefore, in the Messiah Jesus I have the right to boast about my work for God. 18 For I am bold enough to tell you only about what the Messiah has accomplished through me in bringing gentiles to obedience. By my words and actions, 19 by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of God's Spirit, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of the Messiah from Jerusalem as far as Illyricum. 20 My one ambition is to proclaim the gospel where the name of the Messiah is not known, so I don't build on someone else's foundation.
