Mark 15:16-20
Evangelical Heritage Version
Soldiers Mock Jesus
16 The soldiers led him away inside the palace, which is the Praetorium, and called together the whole cohort[a] of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, twisted together a crown of thorns, and put it on him. 18 The soldiers began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 They kept hitting him on the head with a reed and spitting on him. They also kneeled down to pay homage to him.
The Crucifixion
20 When they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothing on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

Jesus Is Mocked
16 So the soldiers led him away into the palace (that is, the governor’s residence) and called together the whole cohort. 17 And they put a purple cloak on him, and after[a] weaving a crown of thorns they placed it[b] on him. 18 And they began to greet him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” 19 And they repeatedly struck[c] him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and they knelt down[d] and[e] did obeisance to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes[f] on him, and they led him out so that they could crucify him.
