They stripped off Jesus’ clothes and put a scarlet robe on him. Then they spit on him. They took the stick from him and beat him on the head.
17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him.
