27 ^aThen when the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into ^bthe ¹Praetorium, they gathered the whole Roman ²^ccohort around Him. 28 And they stripped Him and ^aput a scarlet robe on Him. 29 ^aAnd after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a ¹reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, “^bHail, King of the Jews!” 30 ^aAnd they spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head.
