Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns,.... This was an emblem of his being surrounded by wicked men, sons of Belial, comparable to thorns, whilst he hung suffering on the cross; and of the sins of his people compassing him about, which were as thorns, very grievous to him; and of his various troubles in life, and of his being made a curse for us at death; thorns being the produce of the curse upon the earth.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

2. the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head-in mockery of a regal crown.

and they put on him a purple robe-in mockery of the imperial purple; first "stripping him" (Mt 27:28) of His own outer garment. The robe may have been the "gorgeous" one in which Herod arrayed and sent Him back to Pilate (Lu 23:11). "And they put a reed into His right hand" (Mt 27:29)-in mockery of the regal scepter. "And they bowed the knee before Him" (Mt 27:29).
