Context of Matthew 27:28

26Then Pilate let Barabbas go free, as the crowd wanted. But he said to his soldiers, ‘Hit Jesus many times with a whip. Then take him and fix him to a cross to die.’ 27Then Pilate's soldiers took Jesus into the yard of the ruler's house. All the other soldiers in their group were there. They removed Jesus' clothes from him. They put a dark red coat on him. 29They used some branches with thorns to make a crown for him. Then they put it on his head. They put a long stick in his right hand. They went down on their knees in front of him. They laughed at him and they said, ‘Hello, King of the Jews, you are great!’ 30Then the soldiers spat into Jesus' face. They took the stick and they hit Jesus on his head with it many times.
