Matthew 27:27-29

Amplified Bible

Jesus Is Mocked

²⁷ Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into ^[a]the Praetorium, and they gathered the whole Roman cohort around Him.^{(A) 28} They stripped him and put a scarlet ^[b]robe on Him [as a king’s robe]. ²⁹ And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a reed in His right hand [as a scepter]. Kneeling before Him, they ridiculed Him, saying, “Hail (rejoice), King of the Jews!”
