Matthew 27:27-37

27 Then [the] knights of the justice [Then knights of the president] took Jesus in the moot hall, and gathered to him all the company of knights.
28 And they unclothed him, and did about him a red mantle;
29 and they folded a crown of thorns, and put on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled before him, and scorned him, and said [and the knee bowed before him, they scorned him, saying], Hail, king of Jews.
30 And they spat on him, and took a reed, and smote his head.
31 And after that they had scorned him, they unclothed him of the mantle, and they clothed him with his clothes, and led him to crucify him [and led him for to be crucified].
32 And as they went out, they found a man of Cyrene coming from the town, Simon by name; they constrained him to take his cross.
33 And they came into a place [And they came to a place] that is called Golgotha, that is, the place of Calvary.
34 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with gall; and when he had tasted, he would not drink.
35 And after that they had crucified him, they parted his clothes, and cast lots, to fulfill that is said by the prophet, saying, They parted to them my clothes, and on my cloak they cast lots. [Soothly after that they had crucified him, they parted his clothes, sending lot, that it should be fulfilled, that is said by the prophet, saying, They parted to them my clothes, and upon my cloth they sent lot.]
36 And they sat, and kept him; [And they sitting kept him;]
37 and set above his head his cause written, This is Jesus of Nazareth, king of Jews [This is Jesus, the king of Jews].
