Mark 15:16-19

Jesus Is Mocked

16 ^aSo the soldiers took Him away into ^bthe ¹palace (that is, the ²Praetorium), and they *called together the whole Roman ³^ccohort. 17 And they *dressed Him up in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they *put it on Him; 18 and they began to greet Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 And they kept beating His head with a ¹reed, and spitting on Him; and kneeling, they were bowing down before Him.
