The King of The Jews Is Mocked, Spit On, Beaten And Crucified
27 Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus into the Praetorium[a], gathered the whole [Roman] cohort[b] to[c] Him. 28 And having stripped Him, they put a scarlet cloak[d] on Him. 29 And having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on His head, and they put a staff [e] in His right hand. And having knelt in front of Him, they mocked Him, saying, “Hail[f], King of the Jews!”
