Matthew 27:27-29

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁷ Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the palace, and they gathered the whole battalion about Him.

²⁸ And they stripped off His clothes and put a scarlet robe (^[a]garment of dignity and office worn by Roman officers of rank) upon Him,

²⁹ And, weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on His head and put a reed (staff) in His right hand. And kneeling before Him, they made sport of Him, saying, Hail (greetings, good health to You, long life to You), King of the Jews!
