27 Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. |
28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, |
29 and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. "Hail, king of the Jews!" they said. |
30 They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. |
31 After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him. |
