26 Then he released Barabbas for them, but after he had Jesus flogged, he handed him over so that he could be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s residence and gathered the whole cohort to him.
28 And they stripped him and put a scarlet military cloak around him,
29 and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling down before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!”
30 And they spat on him and took the reed and repeatedly struck him on his head.
31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the military cloak and put his own clothes on him, and led him away in order to crucify him.
32 And as they were going out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon. They forced this man to carry his cross.
