Matthew 27:27-31

========================

27Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him.

28They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,

29and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said.

30They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.

31After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
