[15:16] And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the governor’s headquarters), and they called together the whole battalion.
[15:17] And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
[15:18] And they began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
[15:19] And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him and kneeling down in homage to him.
[15:20] And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him.
