the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head—in mockery of a regal crown.
and they put on him a purple robe—in mockery of the imperial purple; first "stripping him" (Matthew 27:28) of His own outer garment. The robe may have been the "gorgeous" one in which Herod arrayed and sent Him back to Pilate (Luke 23:11). "And they put a reed into His right hand" (Matthew 27:29) —in mockery of the regal scepter. "And they bowed the knee before Him" (Matthew 27:29).
JESUS BEFORE PILATE—SCOURGED—TREATED WITH OTHER SEVERITIES AND INSULTS—DELIVERED UP, AND LED AWAY TO BE CRUCIFIED. (John 19:1-16)
Pilate took Jesus and scourged him—in hope of appeasing them. (See Mark 15:15). "And the soldiers led Him away into the palace, and they call the whole band" (Mark 15:16) —the body of the military cohort stationed there—to take part in the mock coronation now to be enacted.
