16
And the soldiers led him away into the court which is [called the] praetorium, and they call together the whole band.
17
And they clothe him with purple, and bind round on him a crown of thorns which they had plaited.
18
And they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19
And they struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and, bending the knee, did him homage.
20
And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him.
21
And they compel to go [with them] a certain passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might carry his cross.
22
And they bring him to the place [called] Golgotha, which, being interpreted, is Place of a skull.
23
And they offered him wine [to drink] medicated with myrrh; but he did not take [it].
24
And having crucified him, they part his clothes amongst [themselves], casting lots on them, what each one should take.
25
And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26
And the superscription of what he was accused of was written up: The King of the Jews.
