Matthew 27:27-31

Jesus Is Mocked

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's residence [and] gathered the whole cohort to him.
28 And they stripped him [and] put a scarlet military cloak around him,
29 and weaving a crown of thorns, they put [it] on his head, and [put] a reed in his right hand. And kneeling down before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!"
30 And they spat on him [and] took the reed and repeatedly struck [him] on his head.
31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the military cloak and put his [own] clothes on him, and led him away in order to crucify [him].
