16 And the soldiers led Him away into the court, which is the palace, and they called together the entire company of soldiers,
17 and decked Him with purple. And they plaited a crown of thorns, put it on Him,
18 and they began to call out to Him, “Greetings, Sovereign of the Yehuḏim!”
19 And they kept beating Him on the head with a reed and were spitting on Him. And bending the knee, they were bowing down to Him.
20 And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, and put His own garments on Him, and led Him out to impale Him.
21 And they compelled a passer-by, Shim‛on, a Cyrenian, coming from a field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear His stake.
22 And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.
