Matthew 27:25-30

25And all the people yelled back, “We will take responsibility for his death—we and our children!”

26So Pilate released Barabbas to them. He ordered Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip, then turned him over to the Roman soldiers to be crucified.

27Some of the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into their headquarters and called out the entire regiment.

28They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.

29They wove thorn branches into a crown and put it on his head, and they placed a reed stick in his right hand as a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mockery and taunted, “Hail! King of the Jews!”

30And they spit on him and grabbed the stick and struck him on the head with it.
