Matteo 27:30 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 27:30

And they spit upon him
The Syriac and Persic versions add, "upon his face", which he did not hide from spitting; see ( Isaiah 1:6 ) , and so what with sweat, by being hurried from place to place, and with blood trickling down from his temples, scratched with thorns, and with the spittle of these filthy soldiers, his visage was more marred than any man's, and his form than the sons of men, ( Isaiah 52:14 ) .

And took the reed,
or "cane", which was put into his right hand,

and smote him on the head;
whereby they drove the sharp points of the thorns into it, which must give him inexpressible pain and torture.

Matteo 27:30 In-Context

28 E, spogliatolo, gli misero attorno un saio di scarlatto.

29 E, contesta una corona di spine, gliela misero sopra il capo, ed una canna nella man destra; e, inginocchiatiglisi davanti, lo beffavano, dicendo: Ben ti sia, o Re de’ Giudei.

30 Poi, sputatogli addosso, presero la canna, e gliene percotevano il capo.

31 E, dopo che l’ebbero schernito, lo spogliarono di quel saio, e lo rivestirono de’ suoi vestimenti; poi lo menarono a crocifiggere.

32 ORA, uscendo, trovarono un Cireneo, chiamato per nome Simone, il quale angariarono a portar la croce di Gesù.
