Marcos 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).

Marcos 15:17 In-Context

15 Y Pilato, queriendo satisfacer al pueblo, les soltó a Barrabás, y entregó a Jesús, después de azotarle, para que fuese colgado de un madero.

16 Entonces los soldados le llevaron dentro del patio, es a saber al Pretorio; y convocan toda la cuadrilla.

17 Y le vistieron de púrpura; y poniéndole una corona tejida de espinas,

18 Comenzaron luego a saludarle: ¡Salve, Rey de los Judíos!

19 Y le herían su cabeza con una caña, y escupían en él, y le adoraban hincadas las rodillas.
