Matthew 27:26-30

26Then he released Barabbas 1for them; but after having Jesus 2flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

27 3Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into 4the 5Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman 6 7cohort to Him. 28And they stripped Him and 8put a red 9cloak on Him. 29 10And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a 11reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, “12Hail, King of the Jews!” 30And 13they spit on Him, and took the reed and beat Him on the head.
