Matthew 27:26-30

26 Then Pilate freed Barabbas for the people. But he had Jesus whipped and handed over to be crucified.

27 Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the palace and gathered the whole troop around him.

28 They took off his clothes and put a bright red cape on him.

29 They twisted some thorns into a crown, placed it on his head, and put a stick in his right hand. They knelt in front of him and made fun of him by saying, "Long live the king of the Jews!"

30 After they had spit on him, they took the stick and kept hitting him on the head with it.
