Mark 15:16-20

16The soldiers led Jesus into the courtyard of the palace and called together the whole troop.

17They dressed him in purple, twisted some thorns into a crown, and placed it on his head.

18Then they began to greet him, “Long live the king of the Jews!”

19They kept hitting him on the head with a stick, spitting on him, and kneeling in front of him with false humility.

20After the soldiers finished making fun of Jesus, they took off the purple cape and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
