Matthew 27:26-31

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ Then he released to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him unto them to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor taking Jesus into the hall, gathered together unto him the whole band;

²⁸ And stripping him, they put a scarlet cloak about him.

²⁹ And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, king of the Jews.

³⁰ And spitting upon him, they took the reed, and struck his head.

³¹ And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him.
