Juan 19:2 Meaning and Commentary

John 19:2

And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns
This was an emblem of his being surrounded by wicked men, sons of Belial, comparable to thorns, whilst he hung suffering on the cross; and of the sins of his people compassing him about, which were as thorns, very grievous to him; and of his various troubles in life, and of his being made a curse for us at death; thorns being the produce of the curse upon the earth. And put it on his head:
not only by way of derision, as mocking at his character, the King of the Jews, but in order to afflict and distress him. And they put on him a purple robe:
Matthew calls it a scarlet robe; and the Arabic and Persic versions here, "a red" one: it very probably was one of the soldiers' coats, which are usually red: this was still in derision of him as a king, and was an emblem of his being clothed with our purple and scarlet sins, and of the bloody sufferings of his human nature for them, and through which we come to have a purple covering, or to be justified by his blood, and even to be made truly kings, as well as priests, unto God.

Juan 19:2 In-Context

1 Sentencia de muerte para Jesús
Entonces Pilato mandó azotar a Jesús con un látigo que tenía puntas de plomo.

2 Los soldados armaron una corona de espinas y se la pusieron en la cabeza y lo vistieron con un manto púrpura.

3 «¡Viva el rey de los judíos!» —se burlaban de él mientras lo abofeteaban.

4 Pilato volvió a salir y le dijo al pueblo: «Ahora lo voy a traer, pero que quede bien claro que yo no lo encuentro culpable de nada».

5 Entonces Jesús salió con la corona de espinas sobre la cabeza y el manto púrpura puesto. Y Pilato dijo: «¡Miren, aquí tienen al hombre!».
