Matthew 27:26-31

²⁶Then he pardoned Barabbas. But he had Jesus whipped, and then handed over for crucifixion.

²⁷The soldiers assigned to the governor took Jesus into the governor''s palace and got the entire brigade together for some fun.

²⁸They stripped him and dressed him in a red toga.

²⁹They plaited a crown from branches of a thorn bush and set it on his head. They put a stick in his right hand for a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mocking reverence: "Bravo, King of the Jews!" they said. "Bravo!"

³⁰Then they spit on him and hit him on the head with the stick.

³¹When they had had their fun, they took off the toga and put his own clothes back on him. Then they proceeded out to the crucifixion.
