And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace: and they called together the whole band. 17And they clothed him with purple: and, platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him. 18And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews. 19And they struck his head with a reed: and they did spit on him. And bowing their knees, they adored him. 20And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him and put his own garments on him: and they led him out to crucify him.
