Matthew 27:27-31 - Jesus Is Mocked

They placed a rod in his right hand. Then they bowed down on their knees before him. They mocked him, saying: Long life to the King of the Jews. 30 They spat on him and hit him on the head with the rod. 31 After they mocked him, they took off the robe. He was dressed in his garments and he was led away to be impaled.
16 The soldiers led him away to the court in the Praetorium building (governor's palace). They assembled together all of the troops. 17 They clothed him with purple. After weaving a crown of thorns they put it on him. 18 Hail King of the Jews! They shouted at him. 19 They struck his head with a reed and spat on him. They bowed their knees in false adoration to him. 20 After they mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to impale him.
