Matthew 27:27-31 - Jesus Is Mocked

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governors palace, and gathered to him the whole band. ²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. ²⁹ And having platted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, king of the Jews! ³⁰ And they spit upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head. ³¹ And after they had made sport of him, they took off the robe from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him.

¹⁶ And the soldiers led him away into the court, which is the Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. ¹⁷ And they clothe him with purple, and having platted a crown of thorns, they put it on him. ¹⁸ And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews! ¹⁹ And they struck him on the head with a reed, and spit upon him, and kneeling down, did him homage. ²⁰ And after they had made sport of him, they stripped him of the purple robe, and put his own garments on him. And they lead him out to crucify him.
