The soldiers mock Jesus
See them side by side
Matthew 27:27-31
27Then the soldiers of the governor, taking Jesus into the praetorium, gathered the whole cohort around him. 28And they stripped him and put a scarlet cloak around him. 29And after twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand; and kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 30And spitting on him, they took the reed and kept striking him on his head. 31And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the cloak and put his own clothes on him, and they led him away to crucify him.
16And the soldiers led him away inside the courtyard, which is the praetorium, and they call together the whole cohort. 17And they clothe him in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on him. 18And they began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him, and bending their knees, they were paying homage to him. 20And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple and put his own clothes on him. And they lead him out to crucify him.
1So then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2And the soldiers, having twisted together a crown of thorns, put it on his head, and they threw a purple robe around him, 3and they kept coming up to him and saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they kept giving him slaps.
