Mark 15:16-20
Modern English Version
The Soldiers Mock Jesus(A)
16 The soldiers led Him away to Praetorium Hall, and they called together the entire battalion. 17 They clothed Him with a purple robe. And they wove a crown of thorns and put it on His head, 18 and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 They struck His head with a staff and spit on Him. And bowing their knees, they worshipped Him. 20 When they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off of Him and put His own garments 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.
