AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ So Pilate, wanting to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and after he had Jesus flogged, he turned Him over to be crucified. ¹⁶ Then the soldiers led Jesus away to the courtyard of the governor’s headquarters, where they assembled the entire battalion. ¹⁷ They placed a purple robe on Him [Note: Matt. 27:28 calls this a “scarlet” robe. In that day, any color with a mixture of “red” in it was often called “purple”], and making a wreath out of thorns, they placed it on His head. ¹⁸ Then they began “greeting” Him with “Hey, king of the Jews ” ¹⁹ They beat His head with a stick, spat on Him, knelt down before Him and [mockingly] worshiped Him. ²⁰ And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off of Him and put His own clothing [back] on Him. Then they led Him out to crucify Him.
