Mark 15:16-20
New King James Version
The Soldiers Mock Jesus(A)
16 (B)Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called [a]Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison. 17 And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head, 18 and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 Then they (C)struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him. 20 And when they had (D)mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.
