17They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.
18And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”
19They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.
20After they had mocked Him, they removed the purple robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him out to crucify Him.
— Mark 15:17-20
