Matthew 27:27-32

Jesus Is Mocked

27 ¹Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into ²the Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman ³cohort around Him.

28 They stripped Him and ⁴put a scarlet robe on Him.

29 ⁵And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, "⁶Hail, King of the Jews!"

30 ⁷They spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head.

31 ⁸After they had mocked Him, they took the scarlet robe off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

32 ⁹As they were coming out, they found a man of ¹⁰Cyrene named Simon, whom they pressed into service to bear His cross.
