Matthew 27:27-31 - Jesus Is Mocked
27 Then the Governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and called together the whole battalion to make sport of Him. 28 Stripping off His garments, they put on Him a general's short crimson cloak. 29 They twisted a wreath of thorny twigs and put it on His head, and they put a sceptre of cane in His right hand, and kneeling to Him they shouted in mockery, "Long live the King of the Jews!" 30 Then they spat upon Him, and taking the cane they repeatedly struck Him on the head with it. 31 At last, having finished their sport, they took off the cloak, clothed Him again in His own garments, and led Him away for crucifixion.
16 Then the soldiers led Him away into the court of the Palace (the Praetorium) 17 they arrayed Him in crimson, placed on His head a wreath of thorny twigs which they had twisted, 18 and went on to salute Him with shouts of "Long live the King of the Jews." 19 Then they began to beat Him on the head with a cane, to spit on Him, and to do Him homage on bended knees. 20 At last, having finished their sport, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.
16 that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles, doing priestly duties in connexion with God's Good News so that the sacrifice--namely the Gentiles--may be acceptable to Him, being (as it is) 17 I can therefore glory in Christ Jesus concerning the work for God in which I am engaged. 18 For I will not presume to mention any of the results that Christ has brought about by other agency than mine in securing the obedience of the Gentiles by word or deed, 19 with power manifested in signs and marvels, and through the power of the Holy Spirit. But--to speak simply of my own labours--beginning in Jerusalem and the outlying districts, I have proclaimed without reserve, even as far as Illyricum, the Good News of the Christ; 20 making it my ambition, however, not to tell the Good News where Christ's name was already known, for fear I should be building on another man's foundation.
