Matthew 27:26-31 ▼

26 Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Jesus scourged, he delivered Him over to be crucified.

27 Then when the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, they gathered the whole Roman cohort around Him.

28 And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

29 And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

30 And they spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head.

31 When they had mocked Him, they took the scarlet robe off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
