And they clothed him in a purple cloak; and after twisting some thorns into a crown, they put it on him.
18
And they began saluting him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
19
They struck his head with a reed, spat upon him, and knelt down in homage to him.
20
After mocking him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
21
They compelled a passer-by, who was coming in from the country, to carry his cross; it was Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus.
22
Then they brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull).
23
And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it.
24
And they crucified him, and divided his clothes among them, casting lots to decide what each should take.
25
It was nine o'clock in the morning when they crucified him.
26
The inscription of the charge against him read, "The King of the Jews."
27
And with him they crucified two bandits, one on his right and one on his left.
