Matthew 27:27-31 - Jesus Is Mocked

And kneeling down before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" ³⁰ And they spat on him [and] took the reed and repeatedly struck [him] on his head. ³¹ And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the military cloak and put his [own] clothes on him, and led him away in order to crucify [him].
