Matthew 27:27-31

Modern English Version

The Soldiers Mock Jesus^(A)

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole detachment of soldiers before Him. ²⁸ They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him, ²⁹ and when they wove a crown of thorns, they put it on His head and put a staff in His right hand. They knelt before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” ³⁰ They spit on Him, and took the staff and hit Him on the head. ³¹ After they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own garments on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
