²⁹ Using thorny branches, they made a crown, put it on his head, and put a ·stick [reed; staff] in his right hand [^Cas a scepter]. Then the soldiers ·bowed [kneeled] before Jesus and ·made fun of [mocked] him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” ³⁰ They spat on Jesus. Then they took his ·stick [reed; staff] and began to beat him on the head. ³¹ After they ·finished [had mocked him], the soldiers took off the robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.
