Mark 15:15-19

¹⁵Intent on satisfying the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

¹⁶Now the soldiers took Him away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they *called together the whole Roman cohort. ¹⁷And they *dressed Him in purple, and after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on Him; ¹⁸and they began saluting Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!” ¹⁹And they repeatedly beat His head with a reed and spit on Him, and kneeling, they bowed down before Him.
