Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus to the pretorium, and assembled about him the whole cohort. ²⁸ And having stripped him, they threw around him a scarlet military robe: ²⁹ and having platted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and falling on their knees before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail king of the Jews. ³⁰ Then, having spit in his face, they took the reed and struck him on the head.
