Matthew

Matthew 27:26–31

²⁶So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

²⁷Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him. ²⁸They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him. ²⁹And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand, knelt down before Him, and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” ³⁰Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

³¹After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.
