Marc 15:17 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:17

And they clothed him with purple
Matthew calls it a "scarlet" robe; and the Persic version here renders it a "red garment": it was of a colour resembling purple; it was pretty near it, and therefore so called; which is what kings were used to wear; and so in derision of him, as a king, clothed him with this mock purple robe; and which was very likely one of the soldiers' old coats:

and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head;
for a crown, and also a reed in his hand, instead of a sceptre, as Matthew relates; (See Gill on Matthew 26:28), (See Gill on Matthew 26:29).

Marc 15:17 In-Context

15 Pilate donc, voulant contenter le peuple, leur relĂącha Barabbas; et aprĂšs avoir fait fouetter JĂ©sus, il le livra pour ĂȘtre crucifiĂ©.
16 Alors les soldats l'emmenÚrent dans l'intérieur du palais, c'est-à-dire au prétoire, et ils y assemblÚrent toute la cohorte;
17 Et ils le revĂȘtirent d'un manteau de pourpre, et lui mirent sur la tĂȘte une couronne d'Ă©pines qu'ils avaient tressĂ©es;
18 Et ils se mirent Ă  le saluer, en disant: Salut, roi des Juifs!
19 Et ils lui frappaient la tĂȘte avec une canne, et ils crachaient contre lui, et se mettant Ă  genoux, ils se prosternaient devant lui.
