Lent – Day 13
Matthew 27:26-31
Jesus Is Mocked
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s headquarters, [b] and they gathered the whole battalion [c] before him. 28 And
they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29 and twisting together a
crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand.
And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the
Jews!” 30 And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the
head. 31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and
put his own clothes on him and led him away to crucify him.
