Jesus Is Mocked
16 uAnd the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the governor’s headquarters),1 and they called together the whole battalion.2 17 And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him. 18 And they began to salute him, “Hail, vKing of the Jews!” 19 And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him and kneeling down in homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him.
6 wI gave my back to those who strike,
and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard;
I hid not my face
from disgrace and xspitting.
67 Then they zspit in his face and struck him. And some slapped him, 68 saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it that struck you?”
34 And they will mock him and spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And after bthree days he will rise.”
65 And some began to jspit on him and to cover his face and to strike him, saying to him, “Prophesy!” And the guards received him with blows.
32 For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon.
