Marcos 15:17 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:17

And they clothed him with purple
Matthew calls it a "scarlet" robe; and the Persic version here renders it a "red garment": it was of a colour resembling purple; it was pretty near it, and therefore so called; which is what kings were used to wear; and so in derision of him, as a king, clothed him with this mock purple robe; and which was very likely one of the soldiers' old coats:

and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head;
for a crown, and also a reed in his hand, instead of a sceptre, as Matthew relates; (See Gill on Matthew 26:28), (See Gill on Matthew 26:29).

Marcos 15:17 In-Context

15 Pilato, queriendo complacer a la multitud, les soltó a Barrabás; y después de hacer azotar a Jesús, le entregó para que fuera crucificado.
16 Entonces los soldados le llevaron dentro del palacio, es decir, al Pretorio, y convocaron<***> a toda la cohorte romana.
17 Le vistieron<***> de púrpura, y después de tejer una corona de espinas, se la pusieron;
18 y comenzaron a vitorearle: ¡Salve, Rey de los judíos!
19 Le golpeaban la cabeza con una caña y le escupían, y poniéndose de rodillas le hacían reverencias.
