Matthew Chapter: 27
The
governor's soldiers led Jesus into the fortress and brought together the rest
of the troops. They stripped off Jesus' clothes and put a
scarlet robe on him. They made a crown out of thorn
branches and placed it on his head, and they put a stick in his right hand.
The soldiers knelt down and pretended to worship him. They made fun of him
and shouted, "Hey, you king of the Jews!" Then
they spit on him. They took the stick from him and beat him on the head with
it.
When the
soldiers had finished making fun of Jesus, they took off the robe. They put
his own clothes back on him and led him off to be nailed to a cross.
