16
And the men of the army took him away into the square in front of the building which is the Praetorium, and they got together all the band.
17
And they put a purple robe on him, and twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;
18
And, as if honouring him, they said, Long life to the King of the Jews!
19
And they gave him blows on the head with a stick and put shame on him and, going down on their knees, gave him worship.
20
And when they had made sport of him, they took the purple robe off him and put his clothing on him. And they took him out to put him to death on the cross.
21
And they made one, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was going by, coming from the country, go with them, so that he might take his cross.
22
And they took him to the place named Golgotha, which is, Dead Man's Head.
23
And they gave him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it.
24
And he was nailed to the cross; and they made a division of his clothing among them, putting to the decision of chance what everyone was to take.
25
And it was the third hour when they put him on the cross.
26
And the statement of his crime was put in writing on the cross, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
