The Soldiers Mock Jesus

16 The soldiers took Jesus into the courtyard of the governor’s headquarters (called the Praetorium) and called out the entire regiment. 17 They dressed him in a purple robe, and they wove thorn branches into a crown and put it on his head. 18 Then they saluted him and taunted, “Hail! King of the Jews!” 19 And they struck him on the head with a reed stick, spit on him, and dropped to their knees in mock worship. 20 When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.

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.
