Matthew 27:26-31

WNT(i) 26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he ordered to be scourged, and gave Him up to be crucified. 27 Then the Governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and called together the whole battalion to make sport of Him. 28 Stripping off His garments, they put on Him a general's short crimson cloak. 29 They twisted a wreath of thorny twigs and put it on His head, and they put a sceptre of cane in His right hand, and kneeling to Him they shouted in mockery, "Long live the King of the Jews!" 30 Then they spat upon Him, and taking the cane they repeatedly struck Him on the head with it. 31 At last, having finished their sport, they took off the cloak, clothed Him again in His own garments, and led Him away for crucifixion.
