Jesus Is Mocked

27 ^cThen the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the ^dgovernor’s headquarters, ^{▼▼Greek the praetorium} and they gathered the whole ^fbattalion ^{▼▼Greek cohort; a tenth of a Roman legion, usually about 600 men} before him. 28 And they stripped him and put ^ha scarlet robe on him, 29 and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they ⁱmocked him, saying, “Hail, ^jKing of the Jews!” 30 And ^kthey spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. 31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him and ^lled him away to crucify him.
