John 19:3
And said, Hail, King of the Jews!—doing Him derisive homage, in the form used on approaching the emperors. "And they spit upon Him, and took the reed and smote Him on the head" (Matthew 27:30). The best comment on these affecting details is to cover the face.
John 19:1-3
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.
