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!

And they spit upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

And one of them immediately ran and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink.

A bruised reed he will not break, and smoking flax he will not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye will be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you.
