Mark 15:15-19

15So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

16And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the governor's headquarters), and they called together the whole battalion.

17And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him.

18And they began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

19And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him and kneeling down in homage to him.
