Matthew 27:27-29

The Voice

²⁷ The governor’s soldiers took Jesus into a great hall, gathered a great crowd, ²⁸ and stripped Jesus of His clothes, draping Him in a bold scarlet cloak, the kind that soldiers sometimes wore. ²⁹ They gathered some thorny vines, wove them into a crown, and perched that crown upon His head. They stuck a reed in His right hand, and then they knelt before Him, this inside-out, upside-down King. They mocked Him with catcalls.
