Mark 15:16-20

16So the soldiers led him into the palace (that is, the governor’s residence) and called together the whole cohort.

17They put a purple cloak on him and after braiding a crown of thorns, they put it on him.

18They began to salute him: “Hail, king of the Jews!”

19Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Then they knelt down and paid homage to him.

20When they had finished mocking him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
