Context of Matthew 27:27

25And all the people answered, “Let [the responsibility for] His blood be on us and on our children!” 26So he set Barabbas free for them; but after having Jesus severely whipped (scourged), he handed Him over to be crucified. Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and they gathered the whole Roman cohort around Him. 28They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on Him [as a king’s robe]. 29And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a reed in His right hand [as a scepter]. Kneeling before Him, they ridiculed Him, saying, “Hail (rejoice), King of the Jews!”

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 26-30Verses 26-30 Crucifixion was a death used only among the Romans; it was very terrible and miserable. A cross was laid on the ground, to which the hands and feet were nailed, it was then lifted up and fixed upright, so that the weight of the body hung on the nails, till the sufferer died in agony.
