Mark 15:15-20
Holman Christian Standard Bible
15 Then, willing to gratify the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. And after having Jesus flogged,[a] he handed Him over to be crucified.
Mocked by the Military
16 Then(A) the soldiers led Him away into the courtyard (that is, headquarters(B)) and called the whole company together. 17 They dressed Him in a purple(C) robe, twisted together a crown(D) of thorns, and put it on Him. 18 And they began to salute Him, “Hail,(E) King(F) of the Jews!” 19 They kept hitting Him on the head with a reed and spitting on Him. Getting down on their knees,(G) they were paying Him homage. 20 When they had mocked(H) Him, they stripped Him of the purple robe, put His clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.
