Matthew 27:27-30

27Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the governor’s residence and gathered the whole cohort around him.

28They stripped him and put a scarlet robe around him,

29and after braiding a crown of thorns, they put it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand, and kneeling down before him, they mocked him: “Hail, king of the Jews!”

30They spat on him and took the staff and struck him repeatedly on the head.
