Mark 15:16-24

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.

20And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him.

21And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.

22And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull).

23And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.

24And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.
