Matthew 27:27-31 - Jesus Is Mocked

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the deputy took Jesus unto the common hall, and gathered unto him all the company. ²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a purple robe, ²⁹ and plaited a crown of thorns and put upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowed their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews," ³⁰ and spitted upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head. ³¹ And when they had mocked him, they took the robe off him again, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
