Context of Mark 15:16

14‘Why should I kill him?’ Pilate asked. ‘What bad things has he done?’ But the people shouted even louder, ‘Kill him on a cross!’ 15Pilate decided to do what the crowd wanted. So he let Barabbas go free. He said to his soldiers, ‘Hit Jesus many times with a whip. Then take him and fix him on a cross to die.’ So the soldiers took Jesus to the yard at the ruler's house. They told all the soldiers in their group to come there. 17Then they put a dark red coat on Jesus. They used some branches with thorns to make a crown for him. They put it on his head. 18Then the soldiers began to laugh at Jesus. They said, ‘Hello, King of the Jews, you are great!’

God having been dishonoured by the sin of man, Christ made satisfaction by submitting to the greatest disgrace human nature could be loaded with.
