Context of Mark 15:18

16And the soldiers led him away into the court which is [called the] praetorium, and they call together the whole band. 17And they clothe him with purple, and bind round on him a crown of thorns which they had plaited. And they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19And they struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and, bending the knee, did him homage. 20And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him.
