Matthew 27:27-31 - Jesus Is Mocked

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governour, taking Jesus into the common hall, gathered to him the whole troop. ²⁸ And they stripped him and put on him a scarlet robe, ²⁹ And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a cane in his right-hand; and kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews. ³⁰ And spitting on him, they took the cane and smote him on the head. ³¹ And after they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

¹⁶ And the soldiers led him away into the hall called Pretorium, and call together the whole troop. ¹⁷ And they clothe him with purple, and having platted a crown of thorns, put it about his head. ¹⁸ And they saluted him, Hail, king of the Jews. ¹⁹ And they smote him on the oead with a cane, and spit upon him, and bowing their knees, did him homage. ²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

¹⁶ That I should be the servant of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministring the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles may be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. ¹⁷ I have therefore whereof to glory, through Jesus Christ, in the things pertaining to God. ¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of any thing which Christ hath not done by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, Through mighty signs and wonders, ¹⁹ by the power of the Spirit, so that I have fully preached the Gospel of Christ, from Jerusalem round about, as far as Illyricum. ²⁰ But I have striven, so to preach the gospel, not where Christ had been named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation.
