27 then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band; 28 and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak, 29 and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put [it] on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, `Hail, the king of the Jews.' 30 And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head; 31 and when they had mocked him, they took off from him the cloak, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify [him].
