Mocked by the Military
16 The(A) soldiers led him away into the palace (that is, the governor’s residence(B)) and called the whole company together. 17 They dressed him in a purple(C) robe, twisted together a crown(D) of thorns, and put it on him. 18 And they began to salute him, “Hail,(E) king(F) of the Jews!” 19 They were hitting him on the head with a stick and spitting on him. Getting down on their knees,(G) they were paying him homage. 20 After they had mocked(H) him, they stripped him of the purple robe and put his clothes on him.

The Soldiers Make Fun of Jesus(A)
16 The soldiers led Jesus[a] into the courtyard of the palace (that is, the governor’s headquarters)[b] and called out the whole guard. 17 They dressed him in a purple robe, twisted some thorns into a victor’s crown, and placed it on his head.[c] 18 They began to greet him, “Long live the king of the Jews!” 19 They kept hitting him on the head with a stick, spitting on him, kneeling in front of him, and worshiping him. 20 When they had finished making fun of him, they stripped him of the purple robe, put his own clothes back on him, and led him away to crucify him.
