Matthew 27:28-30
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

28 They stripped off his clothes and threw a scarlet military cloak[a] about him. 29 (A)Weaving a crown out of thorns,[b] they placed it on his head, and a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 30 (B)They spat upon him[c] and took the reed and kept striking him on the head.

Footnotes

  1. 27:28 Scarlet military cloak: so Matthew as against the royal purple of Mk 15:17 and Jn 19:2.
  2. 27:29 Crown out of thorns: probably of long thorns that stood upright so that it resembled the “radiant” crown, a diadem with spikes worn by Hellenistic kings. The soldiers’ purpose was mockery, not torture. A reed: peculiar to Matthew; a mock scepter.
  3. 27:30 Spat upon him: cf. Mt 26:67 where there also is a possible allusion to Is 50:6.
Listen to Matthew 27:28-30, Mark 15:17-19, John 19:2-3
