Mark 15:17-19 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,… In the thorn crown I see a mighty stimulus. 1. To fervent love. Can you see Christ crowned with thorns, and not be drawn to Him? 2. To repentance. Can you see your best-beloved put to such shame, and yet hold truce or parley with the sins which pierced Him. It cannot be. (C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,WEB: They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him. |
