Matthew 27:30

28 And they ^astripped Him and ^bput a scarlet robe on Him.

29 ^aWhen they had¹ twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

30 Then ^athey spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head.

31 And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, ^aand led Him away to be crucified.

The King on a Cross

32 ^aNow as they came out, ^bthey found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross.

And they spit upon him - " Let us pay our adoration," says the same pious writer, "and humble ourselves in silence at the sight of a spectacle which faith alone renders credible, and which our senses would hardly endure. Jesus Christ, in this condition, preaches to the kings of the earth this truth - that their scepters are but reeds, with which themselves shall be smitten, bruised, and crushed at his tribunal, if they do not use them here to the advancement of his kingdom."
