Jesus Is Mocked
27 (D)Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the (E)governor's headquarters,[b] and they gathered the whole (F)battalion[c] before him. 28 And they stripped him and put (G)a scarlet robe on him, 29 and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they (H)mocked him, saying, “Hail, (I)King of the Jews!” 30 And (J)they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head.
